MULTI-TITLED Pamela Mariano shot a 6-over-par 78 yesterday to grab the top seeding heading into the match play event of the Class A competition of the Philippine Golf Foundation Junior Masters at the wet Alabang Golf and Country Club in Muntinlupa City.

Mariano, one of the prized finds of the Bukidnon-based Frankie Miñoza Foundation, carded nines of 40 and 38 as she zoomed ahead of the six-player field and gained an outright seat in the semifinals.

Underlining her tag as one of the up-and-coming talents from the jungolf ranks, Mariano kept her mistakes to a minimum, putting herself in good position to follow up her victory in the Mindanao leg of this tournament.
