ICTSI Junior visits Sherwood

MANILA, Philippines — Levonne Talion, fresh off a dramatic come-from-behind victory over Rafa Anciano in the ICTSI Junior Philippine Golf Tour’s kickoff leg at Eagle Ridge, is gearing up for another high-stakes showdown as the tour moves to Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Trece Martires, Cavite.

The second leg of the seven-stage Luzon Series fires off Tuesday, promising another action-packed chase for top honors and valuable ranking points.

Talion, who rallied from eight strokes down before edging Anciano on the second sudden-death hole to clinch the girls’ 15-18 crown, seeks a repeat performance in the 54-hole event organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

But Anciano is out for redemption, aiming to replicate her strong start and deliver a steadier finish this time around after faltering down the stretch in their previous duel at Eagle Ridge’s Norman course.

Also eyeing back-to-back wins are Lisa Sarines and Ryuji Suzuki, who dominated the 11-14 category in the season opener of the nationwide circuit put up by ICTSI.
