Levonne Talion overcame tough odds, while Roman Ungco displayed dominance as they captured their respective divisions with 42 and 53 points, respectively, in Round 3 of the ICTSI Junior PGT Series’ 18-hole stroke play tournament at the Valley Golf Club’s North course in Antipolo Sunday.

Talion birdied the 18th for an 84 in medal play to complete a clutch two-shot swing.

Her closest pursuer Rafa Anciano bogeyed the closing par-4 hole in an earlier flight, enabling the former to score a repeat of her feat in the girls’ 13-14 division at Mt. Malarayat in Batangas. There she nipped the latter by one point last month.

Anciano dropped four strokes in the last three holes, including a double-bogey on No. 16, and finished with an 85 worth 41 points.

Talion then charged back with a bogey-bogey-birdie finish to spike her fightback from three strokes down to nail the one-day tournament played under the Molave scoring system.

Chloe Lim actually made it a three-way battle as she tied Talion at 11-over with three holes left.

But she posted a bogey-bogey-triple bogey windup for third with an 88 for 38 points.

The Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.-organized event drew a huge field of 45 players in three age-group classes (boys’ and girls’ 9-10, boys’ and girls’ 11-12 and girls’ 13-14).

While Talion won via a cliffhanger, Ungco ran away with the boys’ 11-12 trophy as he bucked a double bogey-bogey start with a birdie-eagle-par-birdie feat from No. 6.

He made the turn at one-under 35 and closed out with a 38 that included two more birdies for an impressive one-over 73 for 53 points.

Ungco beat Jacobo Gomez by 12 points as the latter scored 41 points on a gross 85, while Aenzo Sulaik ended up third as he lost to Gomez in the countback after also carding 41 points.

In the boys; 9-10 side, Ryuji Suzuki fired 53 points from a gross 73 for a six-point victory over Jacob Casuga, who shot 47 points from a 79 while Mt. Malarayat leg winner Vito Sarines ended up third with 45 points from a gross 81.

Maurysse Abalos took the girls’ 9-10 diadem with 37 points from an 89, one-point better than Quincy Pilac, who had 36 points from a gross 91, while Margaux Namoco edged Kelsey Bernardino in the countback for third with 33 points after both finished with 93s.
