MANILA, Philippines - La Salle-Zobel continued to lord it over the Juniors and Midgets 2 after the penultimate round of the ICTSI-JGFP Interschool golf championship recently at the Eastridge Golf Club in Binangonan, Rizal.
La Salle Zobel turned in its best score in four rounds of 158 as Jets Sajulga fired a two-under-par gross of 70 equivalent to 56 points while Liam Cully and Aniceto Mandanas had similar 51s that pulled them farther ahead at 529 in Juniors play.
That sterling effort reduced the juniors competition into a battle for second as Xavier 1, far behind La Salle Zobel with a 401 total after a 122, was just seven points ahead of La Salle Greenhills 1 and 11 points clear of Xavier 2.
La Salle Zobel was also beyond reach in the Midgets 2 bracket of the event enjoying the major backing of the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and also sponsored by the Philippine Golf Foundation, Martin Lorenzo and Golf Depot.
Garri Nolasco and David Guangko scored a 36 and 35, respectively, for a 71 and a 304 total against the 263 of Ateneo which got 61 from Miguel Roque (33) and Leonid Rico (28).
The final round of Midgets 2 will be held at South Links on Nov. 9 and the Juniors on Nov. 16 at Eastridge with the best four of five rounds counting for the overall team and individual scores.
Sajulga and Mandanas were running 1-2 in the individual race with their 181 and 179, respectively with Luis Miguel Castro of Learning Links (177), Christopher Popp of Brent (176) not too far behind.
Sean Jean Ramos of La Salle Greenhils showed the way in Midgets 2 with his 167 good for a 14-point lead over Zachary Castro with Nolasco in third at 151.
