Bukidnon– A couple of local junior golfers trying to get the feel of tournament pro play got more than what they had hoped for as Velinda Castil carded a 73 to grab a one-stroke lead over Abby Abarcas and pro Florence Bisera at the start of the ICTSI Del Monte Championship at Del Monte Golf Club here on Tuesday.
“I practiced a lot with my short game since that is the key here,” said the 15-year-old Castil, who birdied two of the four long holes, including the 18th that shoved her past Abarcas. That resulted to birdies on Nos. 15 and 18 then mixed two bogeys against a birdied at the front and missed catching Castil at the helm with a flubbed birdie try on the par-5 ninth.
The former Junior World champion, who also won at Riviera in 2021, also bogeyed Nos. 7 and 8 although she bounced back with two birdies against another bogey in the next five holes and wound up with a 75 in a tie with Valley leg winner amateur Mafy Singson and Sarah Ababa at fourth.
