MANILA, Philippines - There were no surprises in the final round as the La Salle Zobel juniors and the girls teams of Ateneo, Assumption College and Immaculate Concepcion Academy streaked to victory in the 2014 ICTSI Inter-School golf championship recently.

With Jets Sajulga leading the attack, La Salle Zobel dropped its biggest bomb in the final round – a 158-point effort at the Eastridge Golf Club in Binangonan, Rizal  – to highlight a 141-point victory in juniors play.

Sajulga scored 56 points and joined hands with Aniceto Mandanas (51), Liam Cully (43), Steven Ferrer (42) and Derrico Maunahan (41) in a complete domination of their rivals in tourney backed mainly by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. Foundation with the support of the Philippine Golf Foundation, Martin Lorenzo, Golf Depot and Inquirer Golf.

Ateneo prevailed in Girls 1, Assumption claimed the Girls 2 crown and ICA captured the Girls plum after the final round action at the hazard-laden Ayala South Links course, leaving only the Seniors title remaining to be disputed in the four-month series organized by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines and participated in by over 500 juniors from 40 different schools all over the country.

Ateneo’s Paulina Sotto and Charlene Abalos totalled 244 to beat La Salle-Taft by 105, Samantha and Nikki Bruce and Bianca Pagdanganan delivered a 67-point win over St. Paul’s College.

ICA, made up of Mariel Tee, Justine Teh and Venice Ngo, finished with a 306 to win by 70 over La Salle Zobel.

The individual champions were Sajulga in juniors, Sotto in Girls 1, Bruce in Girls 2 and Jona Magcalayo of La Salle Zobel in Girls 3.
