Davao city: Local bet Adrian Bisera and Bukidnon's Crista Mi±oza dominated their respective divisions in the premier 15-18 category of the JPGT South Pacific Championship at the South Pacific Golf and Residential Estates course in Davao City on Friday. The Davaoe±o maintained his composure over the final two rounds to claim victory in the third leg of the Mindanao series.

According to Philippines News Agency, Bisera scored birdies on Nos. 8 and 9, finishing with a 72 for an even 216 total. AJ Wacay, also from Davao City, secured second place after a 77 for a 227, while Armand Copok placed third with a 79 for a 228 aggregate. "I double-bogeyed the last hole because I got nervous - there were so many people watching. But I'm still really happy with the win. I just felt I had to deliver," said the 17-year-old, who regularly trains on the course. "I just tried to stay relaxed, chatted with my flightmates, and had a few laughs to ease the tension."

In the girls' division, Mi±oza clinched her first win after placing third in Mactan and posting back-to-back runner-up finishes at Del Monte and Pueblo de Oro. She carded a 78 for a 226 total to beat Davao's Merry Rose Wacan, who tallied 228 after a 74. Del Monte leg winner Zero Plete had an 83 for a 243 total. "I'm really thankful for this victory - winning feels amazing. This win means a lot to me. All the hard work and training really paid off," said the 17-year-old Mi±oza. "I'd also like to thank my supporters, especially Ms. Tiffany Chua-Copok, and of course my uncle - (golf legend) Frankie Mi±oza, for his guidance and encouragement."

The final leg of the Visayas-Mindanao swing kicks off at Apo Golf and Country Club on July 14.
