SAN DIEGO, California—Dottie Ardina capped her campaign in the Callaway Junior World golf championships with a one-under-par 73 and an 11th place finish in the girls 15-17 years division at the Torrey Pines North course on Friday.
Ardina rallied with a two-under stint on her last seven holes for her second straight under-par round, but fell short of another Top 10 finish in the premier division.
She finished at 295, 11 shots off Korean Kim Hyoo-joo, who ran away with the crown with a 15-under aggregate of 281 following a second straight 68.
In an 11-year stint in the Junior World, Ardina had won three titles and missed the Top 10 just twice. She is one of the 12 qualifying winners provided with tickets by Philippine Airlines for the Junior World and supported by ICTSI, Pancake House and Sizzlin Pepper.
Andie Unson finished 16th at 297 following a 73 while Irina Gabasa soared to a 79 and wound up in 32nd spot at 303. None of the boys bets sent here by the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines made it to the final round play.
