Ateneo, St. Paul Pasig rule jungolf

AIDRIC Chan and Miya Legaspi powered Ateneo and St. Paul Pasig, respectively, to a sweep of the team and individual titles in their respective divisions in the ICTSI-JGFP Inter-schools golf championships at Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo recently.

The 12-year-old Chan capped Ateneo’s domination of Midgets 1 with a six-under-par 66, the lowest score posted so far in the three-month series sponsored by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc.

That 66 catapulted Chan past teammate Carl Corpus and Ira Alido of Elizabeth Seton for the individual crown.

With a 211 total, Chan finished a stroke ahead of Corpus as the cousins steered Ateneo to a romp over Learning Links in the team competition.

It was also a sweep in Girls 2 with Legaspi, the Asian Youth Games champion, and St. Paul Pasig posting blowout wins in the series organized by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines and backed by Pancake House and Sizzlin’ Pepper.

Legaspi had a 224 aggregate to finish far ahead of Pauline del Rosario of De La Salle-Zobel in individual play while leading St. Paul to the team crown over DLSZ, 428-405.
