SILANG, Cavite, Philippines — Rafa Anciano and Patrick Tambalque strengthened their bids for the Philippine Match Play Championship with wire-to-wire victories in the ICTSI Junior PGT with the former securing another Luzon Series win at Riviera’s Couples course here yesterday following a playoff triumph at Pinewoods.

Tambalque, on the other hand, scored a follow-up to his title romp in the Visayas Series 2 in Bacolod in a multi-series campaign in the nationwide circuit, defeating Simon Wahing once again in the boys’ 16-18 category.

Anciano delivered a stunning performance, annexing a runaway victory over Gabriela Sison. She capped off her triumph with a closing 87 for a 336 total in the girls’ premier division of the series organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

Sison posted an 88 to finish second with a total score of 376, followed by Chloe Rada (91-381) and Casey Frankum (97-390).
