While the earlier matches in the ICTSI Junior PGT Mindanao Series were marked by tight finishes, the 13-15 division finals at Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club saw dominant performances as Clement Ordeneza and Zero Plete cruised to commanding victories here Wednesday, Aug. 14.
CAGAYAN DE ORO –
Despite slowing down slightly with a final round of 70, after a blistering 65 in the second round, Ordeneza finished with an impressive 10-under 206 total, clinching victory by 19 strokes as Nailga stumbled to a 78 for a 225. Luciano Copok placed third with a 236 total after a 79.“It’s always been about my first tee shot. If I start well, I usually finish strong,” said the 14-year-old student from Little Me Academy, who struggled to recover after an initial round of 79 at Del Monte.
Mikela Guillermo and Stephanie Tagud finished far behind, with scores of 269 and 319 after 88 and 106, respectively. In the premier 16-18 division, the title chase became a battle of resilience between two finalists from the Visayas series. Simon Wahing managed to pad his lead to seven despite a front-nine struggle, finishing with a 79 for a 228.
"My game was a bit off with a 7-over," said Wahing."But I don't feel any pressure heading into tomorrow . I’m really hoping to improve my putting."
