SOUTHERN DELIGHTS: Tamayo, Batican make waves, rule JPGT Mactan
Brittany Tamayo and Ralph Batican from Mindanao emerged as the dominant champions at the ICTSI Mactan Island Junior PGT Championship.
Tamayo rallied past overnight leader Zuri Bagaloyos to win the girls' 11-14 age group title with a 150 total and a five-shot victory, after Bagaloyos faltered with a triple bogey on the 8th hole.
Batican completed a wire-to-wire victory in his division with an impressive final round, carding a 65 despite a last-hole bogey for a four-shot win with a 136 total.
Tamayo noted that the wet fairways affected ball roll and the receptive greens required adjustments in her play.
Batican, a protege of Frankie Miñoza, adjusted his yardage due to the lack of roll on the fairways.
The tournament is the first leg of the seven-part Visayas-Mindanao Series organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc.
