Luigi Guerrero and JP de Claro stepped up when teammate Miggy Yee struggled to sustain the breakaway of La Salle Greenhills in the third round of the Junior Division of the JGFP-ICTSI Inter-School golf tournament recently at the Ayala Greenfield Estates course in Calamba, Laguna.
Over at the Valley course, Daniella Uy and Mia Legaspi also poured it on for runaway leader St. Paul's Pasig in the Girls 1 category.
Guerrero and De Claro combined for 103 points to cushion Yee's worst round so far of 47 points as the LSGH squad chalked up 150 for a three-day aggregate of 454 and a virtually unassailable 56-point lead going into the final two rounds.
Even La Salle's second unit could have matched the output of the second-running La Salle Zobel which pooled just 137 on the 50 points of Jama Reyes, 44 of Miguel Shah and 43 of John Molina. La Salle Zobel finished three rounds at different courses at 398. Ateneo was third at 390, Xavier fourth at 371, Brent and LSGH 3 tied for fifth at 325 and Xavier 2 at 299.
Uy found her range to shoot a one-under-par gross of 71 equivalent to 57 points at Valley and Legaspi backed her up with a 54 for 111 points that pushed St. Paul's farther ahead by 67 points over Ateneo, 315-248, also after 54 holes of the tourney backed chiefly by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and also sponsored by the Pancake House Group, Sizzlin' Pepper, Pancake House, Golf Depot and Philippines Airlines.
Paulina Sotto topscored for the third straight time with 43 and Nicole Barreto's 40 counted as the second score for the Ateneans.
La Salle Zobel, bannered by Pauline del Rosario, was just two points behind Ateneo in third at 243 after a 90, Southville was at 235, Assumption, rallying behind the 56 of Bianca Pagdanganan, at 231 and College of St. Benilde at 211.
Yee's drop in form allowed Raymart Tolentino to grab the lead in the individual race with a 157 total against the 156 of the latter. Guerrero and De Claro shared third at 149. Legaspi, with a 160 total, paced the Girls 1 individual tally by 11 over Southville's Chanelle Avaricio while Del Rosario was at 147.
