Cayabyab leads jungolf school third leg winners

MANILA, Philippines - Annyka Chanel Cayabyab dished out fine form as she topped the girls Class D division of the third leg of the ICTSI-JGFP School Season Tour conducted by The Junior Golfers League at the Philippine Navy and Capitol Hills courses recently.

Cayabyab, reaping the fruits of a swing overhaul under new coach Norman Sto. Domingo, recovered from a two-point deficit on the last four holes in the final round with a one-under card to nip Burberry Zhang by three.

Cayabyab, who finished with 86 points after scoring 41 at Navy and 45 at Capitol against Zhang’s 42-41-83, is currently training for the Junior World Qualifying, US Kids Scotland and Pinehurst and Veritas World Juniors.

The daughter of Lubao Mayor Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab is back-to-back winner of the prestigious Veritas Junior World Cup in the US, and the defending champion of the PGF Junior Master Northern Luzon Philippines.

She will join the TJGL-Navy Division 2 in the forthcoming ICTSI-JGFP Interclub Championship on March 26-28 at the Splendido Taal Golf Club in Batangas.

Joining Cayabyab as girls winners were Marjorie Espanola in Division A, Tomi Arejola in Division B, Jona Magcalayo in Division C, Princess Pascua in Division E and Venice Tiamsic in Division F.
