Talion wins girls' title, Serdenia tops boys' category in ICTSI Junior PGT
Levonne Talion and Charles Serdenia topped their respective categories in the ICTSI Junior PGT Championship on Thursday at Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club.
Talion, competing in the girls' championship of the 15-18 age category, came back from eight strokes down to win a playoff against Rafa Anciano with a par on the second hole after both players tied on the first playoff hole.
Serdenia secured his victory by extending his overnight lead to three strokes after a front-nine surge and holding steady through the final holes for a two-stroke win over Shinichi Suzuki, who made a late birdie attempt but fell short.
Talion's improbable comeback included key pars on the 18th hole during regulation play and in the playoff, while Serdenia maintained composure despite late pressure from Suzuki.
The event is part of a nationwide series that will continue with legs at Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Cavite and Splendido Taal before moving to Cebu and Mindanao, culminating in North vs South Elite Junior Finals.
