Mendoza, Alburo triumph again, clinch JPGT finals berths

BACOLOD – Mendoza delivered an impressive 84 to win the 36-hole competition for the second consecutive week, finishing with a total of 169. She outperformed Ana Marie Aguilar, who posted a 236 after a 114, while Faith Reosura placed third with a 238 after a 120 at the tight Bacolod Golf and Country Club.

Zuri Bagaloyos capped the Cebuanos’ sweep in the second leg of the Bacolod series organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. The Singapore School-Cebu student secured a commanding win in the girls’ 10-12 division, avenging her defeat to Cailey Gonzales in the Iloilo leg. Gonzales, 11, could not recover, posting an 81 for a 163, while Kelsey Bernardino finished third with a 172 after an 88. Bagaloyos and Gonzales also both all but clinched spots in the national finals with 25 points apiece.

With their consecutive victories, Mendoza and Alburo are set for the national finals in October at The Country Club in Laguna. The top two players from each category in the Visayas and Mindanao series will join the top four from the Luzon tour, with the top player in each category advancing to the head-to-head finals of the circuit sponsored by ICTSI.

“I think I was too relaxed playing with my fellow Cebuanos,” said Tiongko, who highlighted his 38-41 card with a birdie on the par-4 No. 7, where he hit a tree after a sliced drive and got lucky after opting to lay up with the ball resting next to the hole. In the premier 16-18 category, Patrick Tambalque from Silang, Cavite extended his lead to two with a 73, totaling 148, while Cebuana Dominique Gotiong stretched her six-stroke advantage to a commanding 17-shot margin with a second straight 81 for a 162.
