SOFIA Chabon and Bernice Ilas kept the momentum of their title romps in the FCG Callaway World Championship last week as they completed another sweep for The Country Club girls in the Ping Series at Industry Hills’ Zaharias course in Los Angeles Wednesday.
Chabon, who ruled the FCG girls’ 15-18 division in California last weekend, mastered the par-71 layout with a pair of three-under 68s to pool 136 and edge teammate Pauline del Rosario by one.
Unlike in her come-from-behind victory in the 54-hole FCG tourney, Chabon sank crucial par putts in the closing holes to hold off a late-charging Del Rosario.
The reigning Thailand Ladies Amateur Open champion Del Rosario rallied with a 66 but fell short as she tallied 137.
Sam Martirez, priming up for next week’s US Women’s Amateur, slowed down with a 70 and wound up with 138.
Thai K. Sukaree ended up fourth with 140 after a 69 while Abby Arevalo carded a 72 for joint seventh at 146 and Kayla Nocum and Mika Fortuna struggled to a 74 and a 75 and finished with 151 and 153, respectively.
Ilas matched Chabon’s feat by outclassing the 12-14 field, returning a pair of 71s for 142 and a five-stroke victory over J. Cai from Irvine, who closed out with a 72 for a 157.
