MANILA, Philippines – Despite an early stumble and late struggles on a rain-hit, windy Thursday at The Country Club, Ralph Batican persevered through tough conditions, carding a 78 to extend his overnight three-stroke lead to a commanding 10-shot advantage after 36 holes in the boys' 13-14 division of the Uswing Mojing Junior World Qualifying in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
In contrast, the girls' 13-14 category took an unpredictable turn as Lisa Sarines staged a late surge, trimming Johanna Uyking's lead to just one stroke heading into the final round. A dramatic two-shot swing on the closing hole (No. 18) allowed Sarines to fire a 73, closing the gap at 153 against Uyking's 152 after a 75.
