Mikaela Arroyo powered Assumption San Lorenzo to a sweep of the overall individual and team titles in the Developmental Division of the 2014 ICTSI-JGFP Interschool golf championships conducted by The Junior Golfers League at various courses.

The 161-point effort of the granddaughter of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in the best three rounds out of six format played the past three months at the Ayala South Links, Ayala Greenfield, Club Intramuros and Philippine Navy courses won her the overall individual championship, beating Jamina Uttoh of the Notre Dame of Greater Manila by five and Trisha Lazatin of San Beda Alabang by 10.

Mikaela’s consistent play in the competition backed mainly by the International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and sanctioned by the Junior Golfers Foundation of the Philippines also helped steer Assumption San Lorenzo also composed of sister Monique Arroyo, Iya Fianza and Daniella Antonio to the overall team diadem as they aggregated 305.

The boys team title went to Ateneo made up of Rafael Gusi, Karl dela Torre, Kirk dela Torre and Sean Ibuyan with their combined 201 points.

Siblings Javi and Trisha Lazatin won the mixed team event for San Beda Alabang.

Joining Mikaela Arroyo, who also topped the girls Grade 4-7 bracket with her rounds of 55, 53 and 53, in the roster of individual winners were Ken Shibata of Japanese School Manila in boys Grade 4-7, Princess Pascua of El Rio Pasig in the girls Grade 1-3, Javi Lazatin the boys Grade 1-3, Josh Jorge of Gabby Christian Academy in the boys Grade 8-12, Marjorie Espanola of Foundation Youth in girls Grade 8-12 and Rocco Pineda of The Bridge School in the Kindergarten Division.
