Young Golfers Battle for Grand Finals Berths at Beverly Place

In the girls' division, Mavis Espedido comfortably holds the top seat with 33 points, while Aerin Chan, Ronee Dungca, and Tyra Garingalao are locked in a dead-heat battle for fifth place—a must-play situation for all three, as league rules mandate a minimum of three tournament appearances to qualify for the finals .
