DLS-Zobel, Ateneo complete ICTSI Inter-school golf romps

MANILA, Philippines - After the previous week’s cancellation of the final round due to bad weather, La Salle Zobel and Ateneo 2 returned to complete their title romps in the two midgets divisions of the ICTSI Inter-school golf tournament’s first leg recently at the Ayala Greenfield Estates Golf and Leisure Club in Calamba, Laguna.

The La Salle Zobel boys coasted pressure-free to victory as Jaime Oposa chalked up 41 points, Karl Tolentino added 34 and Steven Ferrer had 27 for 102 points and a 54-hole aggregate of 339, carrying teammates Riane Casquejo and Derrico Dimaunahan to a 33-point win.

Xavier 4 (Kendrick Diaz, Matthew Dybuncio, Matthew Gue, Lorenzo Fores and Vince Ngo) tallied 101 for 306 and runner-up honors, La Salle Greenhills 5 (EZ Serapio, Ryan Monsalve, Joni Pancho and Spade Barbers) at the conclusion of the three-weekend series which played its first two legs at Splendido and Capitol Hills.

Ateneo pulled off a 1-2-3 finish in Midgets 2 of the event backed chiefly by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. It is also sponsored by Philippine Airlines, Chevrolet Pancake House Group, Teriyaki Boy and Sizzilin Pepper.

The Ateneo 2 trio of Aidric Jose Chan, Carl Corpus and Marc Corrales finished with a 298 after a 101 for the day. Ateneo 3’s Raphael Samson, Raymond Quinto, Jefferson Conding, Gabriel Magalong and Riggs Illescas posted 60 for 122.
