Brittany Tamayo survived the loss of a three-stroke lead with two holes left in regulation by beating Kimberly Barroquillo in the first hole of sudden death to win the 10-12 division of the ICTSI Junior Mindanao Series I on Wednesday at Apo Golf in Davao.

Tamayo, a 12-year-old from Marbel in South Cotabato, three-putted the par-5 18th for par in the playoff for her second career playoff win, earning valuable points for the National Match Play finals to be held at The Country Club in Laguna in October.

Barroquillo caught Tamayo, who closed out with an 85, at 163 after 36 holes after shooting an 81.

Meanwhile, in the boys’ division, Jared Saban dominated with a remarkable 78, which included a birdie on the 17th, to also finish with a 163 for a 16-stroke win over cousin Laurence Saban, who scored an 88.

In other categories, James Benedict Rolida and Denise Eliana Mendoza won the 8-9 titles in different styles, while AJ Wacan and Johanna Uyking maintained their leads in the 13-15 category, and Davao’s Aldrien Gialon caught up with Rainier Tagwalan in the boys’ 16-18 class in the first stage of the four-stage Mindanao series sponsored by ICTSI and organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
