Del Rosario, Ilas rule in Singapore
PAULINE del Rosario and Bernice Olivarez-Ilas brought their winning act from Malaysia to Singapore as they dominated their respective divisions in the 22nd SICC-DBS Junior Invitational Golf Championship 2013 at Singapore Island Country Club’s Sime course yesterday.
Del Rosario, already the big winner of 15-18 title in the Kids World Championship in Johor two weeks ago, cruised to a five-shot romp in 12-15 category despite a closing three-over-par 75 for a 218 total in the 54-hole tournament.
Ilas, who took the 11-and-under crown in the Kids World via a runaway 20-shot romp, carded a 72 and actually shared the overall runner-up honors with Indonesian Inez Wanamarta, who carded a 74, at 223.
Ilas, who hit 14 fairways and 11 greens, ran away with the Class B title, then teamed up with Del Rosario to deliver the team championship to Team ICTSI-Philippines.
Del Rosario, also a Junior World champion, built a six-shot lead after two rounds.
Abegail Arevalo, another ICTSI member, shot a 75 to finish fifth at 224 while Sam Martinez wound up seventh at 225 after a 76. Sofia Chabon also made a 76 for eighth at 228 while Mikhaela Fortuna ended up 12th at 238 after a 79.
