VINH PHUC. – Lois Kaye Go fell short in her bronze medal bid Sunday, closing out with a 70 for 215 and ending up fourth in women’s individual play in the 31st SEA Games at the Heron Lake Golf Course. Thai Natthakritta Vongtaveelap cruised to the gold medal with a four-under 68, capping her brilliant 54-hole performance she spiked with back-to-back 67s for a whopping 14-under 202 total.
Singapore’s Aloysa Atienza Mabutas provided the final day fireworks as she scorched the par-72 layout with a tournament-best 65 to rally from joint fourth and snatch the silver medal on a 209 total that included a 74 and 70.
Malaysia’s Jeneath Wong fired a 69 for the bronze with 209.
Go wound up six strokes farther back at fourth at 215, her bid stymied by a shaky 76 in the first round. She bounced back strong with a second round 69 but failed to sustain her charge in the last 18 holes and settled for a two-under card.
Mafy Singson, who also fought back with a 70 Saturday, struggled with a 73 and finished with 219 while ICTSI teammate Rianne Malixi finally broke par but her 71 could only net her a total of 221, marred by a 76 and 74.
