Sta. Elena sustains run, zooms to WGAP circuit lead

Sta. Elena kept the momentum of its big surge at Wack Wack with a victory and a runner-up finish in Canlubang to wrest the overall lead after seven legs of the 2018 WGAP Circuit at Cangolf’s North course recently.

The Sta. Elena ladies topped Class B and placed second in Class C for a crucial five-point output that shoved the late-charging team past a faltering Villamor side heading to the final stop of the eight-stage circuit in Forest Hills next month.

Sta. Elena moved within three points off Villamor in the overall race with two victories in the sixth leg last month but now found itself on top of the heap with 21 points as Villamor went scoreless for the second straight tournament and dropped to second with 19 points.

Many-time champion Tagaytay Highlands likewise sustained its attack with a victory in Class A and a third place effort in Class C, hiking its total to 17 points.

Camp Aguinaldo improved to 16 points.
