Legaspi, Yee return fuels SPC, La Salle

MULTITITLED Mia Legaspi and Miggy Yee returned to local jungolf action and powered St. Paul’s College and La Salle GreenHills to the top in the Girls 1 and Juniors divisions, respectively, of the ICTSI-JGFP Inter-school golf tournament.

Legaspi, a two-time Junior World champion, fired a four-under-par 58 at Ayala Greenfield and, with the 53 of Daniella Uy, St. Paul’s 111 opened up a hefty 35-point lead over Ateneo, which finished with a 76 in the division for the combined girls and high school field.

Overshadowed by Legaspi’s solid form was the return to jungolf competition of former standouts Paulina Sotto, who led scoring for Ateneo with a 40, and Christina Potenciano, who did not count with a 32. Nicole Barreto’s 36 was Ateneo’s second team score.

At Aguinaldo, Yee suited up anew for his team after a long absence, shooting a one-over 53 to join hands with Luigi Guerrero and JP de Claro, who both had 49s, for a 151 team total and a 10-point lead over La Salle Zobel in the tournament backed by the ICTSI and also sponsored by  Pancake House Group, Sizzlin’ Pepper and Philippines Airlines.

Jama Reyes carded 49 while Miguel Shah and Jaime Oposa chipped in 48 and 44, respectively, for La Salle Zobel.

LSGH 3 was running third at 128, Ateneo 1 at 122.

Legaspi and Uy were running 1-2 in the individual race while teammate Annika Cedo was sharing third at 50 with Dana Gonzales of CSA.
