LAUREL, Batangas—In a remarkable display of resilience, skill and poise, Charles Serdenia emerged victorious in a tense back-nine duel against Zachary Villaroman, clinching a four-stroke triumph with a closing 74 in the boys’ 15-18 division of the Junior Philippine Golf Tour Luzon Series I at the Splendido Taal Golf Club here Friday.
“This win is memorable. It’s my first time becoming a JPGT champion,” said Serdenia, who turned 15 Thursday, in Pilipino. “I told myself that I wouldn’t let go until I secured the win. Fortunately, I birdied both Nos. 12 and 13.” “I didn’t quite meet that expectation, but I learned from this experience, and now I’m confident I can manage my score better in the future,” she added.
But bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11 enabled Serdenia to close the gap, and with a birdie on No. 13, Serdenia pulled ahead as Villaroman bogeyed the par-4 hole. This shifted the momentum, and Serdenia kept his composure to finish strong with a run of pars.
