Legaspi sets record 61 as St. Paul’s pulls away

MANILA, Philippines - Multi-titled Mia Legaspi shot a record 61 points or seven-under-par in medal play as St. Paul’s College pulled away in the Girls 1 division in the ICTSI-JGFP Inter-School golf championships at the Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club in Diliman, Quezon City.

Legaspi, currently the best girl junior player of the country, sparked another effort round by the Paulinians who also turned in their best effort in four rounds of 117, counting the 56 of Daniella Uy that gave them a 432 total and a whopping 93-point advantage over Southville (104-339) which dislodged Ateneo from second spot.

La Salle Greenhills was poised for a double strike by keeping the lead in the juniors and seniors divisions of the tournament with the major backing of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and the support of Philippine Airlines, Pancake House Group, Sizzlin’ Pepper, Pancake House and Golf Depot.

The first champion will be crowned tomorrow at Aguinaldo when the final round of Girls 2 is played with La Salle Zobel just a point ahead of Assumption, 311-310.

Miggy Yee, AR Ramos and Luigi Guerrero combined for  a 167 at the Club Intramuros course and gave LSGH 621 and a 77-point advantage over La Salle Zobel (146-544) with Ateneo still in third place at 520,  Brent  at 448 and Xavier at 441. Yee made 58, Ramos added 56 and JP de Claro gathered 47.

The seniors title stands to go to La Salle as well as it drew 51 from Eric Gallardo, 50 from Gino Bunyi and 46 from Allan Bumagat for a fourth round aggregate of 147.

The Girls 1 and Juniors final round will be played Nov. 18 at Aguinaldo and the seniors at Valley on Nov. 11.
