MANILA, Philippines - Milkylah Crystal and JJ Gamolo shared top honors after scoring 51 and 50 points, respectively, in the recent ICTSI-JGFP School Season tournament at the hazard-laden Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club in Cagayan de Oro.

Crystal emerged the girls overall and Class A champion with her tournament-best score, finishing five points clear of Pamela Mariano and 11 ahead of sister Gabrielle in the 18-hole tournament serving part of the year-round Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines calendar backed by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc.
