'For boys' 13-15 category champion, Clement Ordeneza of Bukidnon, who breezed past Armand Copok and Jose Carlos Taruc, the competition was more about learning and enjoying his game than the win itself.'I treated this as an opportunity to grow and practice what I've been working on every day,' he said.The most dramatic victory, however, came in the girls' 10-12 division, where South Cotabato's Brittany Tamayo outlasted Aerin Chan with a 1-up win on the 19th hole.
