Legaspi fires record 61, fuels St. Paul charge
MIA LEGASPI submitted the lowest round of the series so far with 61 points, or seven-under-par in medal play, as St. Paul’s College further padded its already unassailable lead in the Girls 1 division in the ICTSI-JGFP Inter-School golf championships at the Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club in Quezon City.
Legaspi, the best girl junior player of the country at the moment, sparked another huge round by the Paulinians, who also turned in their best effort in four rounds of 117 counting the 56 of Daniella Uy that gave them a 432 total and a whopping 93-point advantage over Southville (104-339).
La Salle Green Hills was poised for a double strike by keeping the lead in the juniors and seniors divisions of the tournament with the major backing of International Container and Terminal Services, Inc. and the support of Philippine Airlines, Pancake House Group, Sizzlin’ Pepper, Pancake House and Golf Depot.
The first champion will be crowned tomorrow at Aguinaldo when the final round of Girls 2 is played with La Salle Zobel just a point ahead of Assumption, 311-310.
Miggy Yee, AR Ramos and Luigi Guerrero conspired for a 167 at Club Intramuros that boosted LSGH to 621 and a 77-point advantage over La Salle Zobel (146-544) with Ateneo still in third place at 520.
Yee made 58, Ramos added 56 and JP de Claro gathered 47.
The seniors title stands to go to La Salle also as the Taft-based team compiled a 147 fourth round aggregate and a 52-point lead over Ateneo with a 581 total.
