La Salle-Zobel is ahead on points in four rounds with 592 against the 581 of Ateneo but with the worst round out of five games cancelled out in the final tabulation, the Greenies still need to beat the Blues in the final round to secure the championship and a Midgets double.

Ateneo, Assumption and Immaculate Concepcion Academy have the girls divisions titles all wrapped up while Lyceum of the Philippines University-Cavite appears unreachable in the senior division of the tourney also sponsored by the Philippine Golf Foundation, Martin Lorenzo, Golf Depot and Inquirer Golf.

Ateneo enjoys a 60-point lead over La Salle-Taft in Girls 1, Assumption is up by 46 over St. Paul’s Pasig in Girls 2 and ICA will bring an 82-point advantage over La Salle Zobel to the final round of Girls 3 on Nov. 16.
