Del Monte turned an expected final round shootout with Manila Southwoods-Masters into a victory walk as it dished out its best game – a 194 to reclaim the WGAP Luzvimin golf crown via a 21-point win at Taal Splendido Golf Club in Laurel, Batangas yesterday.
Just four points ahead of last year’s champions after grabbing the lead with a 187 Thursday, the Del Monte ladies saved their best for last as Martina Miñoza and Pamela Mariano carded identical 49 Molave points and Sofia Abarcas and Leslie Icoy scored similar 48 points that underscored the team’s solid scoring.
With a 194, Del Monte finished with a 556 aggregate as the 2016 champions at Rancho Palos Verdes beat Southwoods-Masters, which pooled a second 177 in three days for a 535, by 21 points for the coveted Diamond division trophy.
Yong Mi Kim shot 47 points while Christine Naidoo added a 44 and Loralie Roberto, who scored an ace in the second round on No. 15, and Claire Ong chipped in 43 points apiece for the Carmona-based squad.
