The six-year old scored rounds of 63-62-64 in the par 54 Colina Park Golf Course to finish 17 strokes adrift of Claire Hodges of the USA.
Two weeks ago, Go finished second to Hodges in the Pepsi Little People's Golf Championships in Illinois.
Her brother, LJ Go, had rounds of 72-67-77 in the par 62 Welk Resort San Diego Fountains Executive Course to finish 34th out of 101 participants in the Boys 9-10 years old category. He made the two-day cut on the number and was the third best Filipino in his division.
LJ Go made history as being the first CCC jungolfer to make the cut in this prestigious event.
In the past, CCC jungolfers have joined this event: Andre Borromeo, Paolo Borromeo, Noriko Takahashi, Marko Sarmiento, Jojo Tiongko, Keenan Ugarte, and Bayani Garcia. All of them failed to make the cut. The Girls' 6-7 division where LK Go finished 3rd did not have a cut.
Kathleen Uy, the reigning CCC Junior Club champion, did not fare as well as the Go siblings. She opened with a solid 77 in Torrey Pines North to stand at 26th place in the Girls 15-17 division, but faltered with succeeding rounds of 83 and 80. She missed the three-day cut and won't get to tee it up in the final round action today (July 15 in the USA). Uy, however, had the best score among the three Filipinos in her division.
"This is CCC's best ever performance in Junior World. Three of our juniors qualified and all of them made their mark. We had our best ever finish of third place [LK Go], our first ever cut made [LJ Go] and the first time a CCC Junior topscored for the Philippines in the highly competitive 15-17 age group [Kathleen Uy]," said CCC Jungolf Chairman Jovi Neri. "This shows that our junior program is moving in the right direction."
