Zhang, Granada book San Diego Jr World golf slots

SUNSHINE Burberry Zhang and Sean Dominique Granada booked the next two free tickets to Los Angeles  after topping the Class D division of the recent PAL Junior World Qualifying leg of the ICTSI-JGFP Summer Circuit at Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club course.

Zhang chalked up rounds of 72, 67, 66 and 61 to rule the girls’ division by 14 strokes over a fast-starting Eagle Ace Superal, who settled for runner-up honors in the gruelling 72-hole qualifier.

Superal, younger sister of top lady amateur Princess, took the lead the first two rounds with her 69 and 65 but faded with 74 and 72 for a 280 total.

Granada coasted to a nine-stroke win in the boys’ division for the 9-10 years group of the qualifier backed by Philippine Airlines and staged by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines with the support of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. Foundation.

Granada (64-71-70-62-267) won over Miguel Sebastian Roque (71-68-70-67-276) and Zeus Sara (64-77-78-72-291). All three booked slots to the Junior World in San Diego, California, this coming July but only Granada and Zhang will get free tickets from PAL as division champions.

Zhang and Superal took the two spots in girls’ play of the tourney also sponsored by the Philippine Golf Foundation, Martin Lorenzo, Golf Depot, Crystal Catx, Delimondo and Inquirer Golf.
