Fearsome Twosome
Team North secured a narrow 6 1/2-5 1/2 victory over Team South in the Foursomes of the ICTSI Elite Junior Finals at The Country Club.
Zach Villaroman and Jakob Taruc secured a crucial half-point for Team North in the final pairing against Eric Jeon and Mhark Fernando III, ensuring the overall win.
With Team North leading 14-9 heading into the final match, Fernando's errant shot into the water on the 18th allowed Villaroman and Taruc to secure an all-square result.
The Ryder Cup-style event featured intense pressure and wild swings, with Team South mounting a strong comeback after Team North's initial lead from the Four-ball matches.
The tight finishes and bold recoveries made this the most dramatic installment yet in a Finals that continues to defy prediction.
