Serdenia, Lee triumph at Splendido
LAUREL, Batangas, Philippines — 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 yesterday.
Serdenia’s victory was cemented by a crucial two-shot swing on No. 13, which he birdied from six feet. He then capitalized on Villaroman’s disastrous triple-bogey on the 14th, to secure the win with a 311 total.
Villaroman failed to recover from that costly seven and ended up with a 79 for second with a 315, while Alexander Crisostomo placed third with a 323 after an 81.
In the girls’ division, Jiwon Lee posted a whopping 13-stroke victory over Lia Duque, finishing with a 75 for a 17-over 305 total over 72 holes. Duque faltered with an 82 for a 318 while Anna Fernandez claimed third place with a 343 after an 81.
“This win is memorable. It’s my first time becoming a JPGT champion,” said Serdenia, who turned 15 last Thursday.
