Halfway through the thrilling 2025 Superkit Junior Elite Golf Tour, Alonso Fabul is blazing ahead, leading the overall Order of Merit with a flawless 300 points after sweeping the first three legs in the boys’ 5-7 division.

His impressive run at Vineyard Golf Club, Eagle Ridge and Mt. Malarayat has set the bar high and is keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Hot on his heels is Luis Espinosa, clutching 290 points, with Kenji Yamada close behind at 280. Sharing that 280-point mark is the talented Ashleigh Remo, proving the competition is fierce across both boys and girls divisions.

The race tightens further with a four-way tie for fifth place at 240 points — featuring Candice Lim, Yarra Chua, Rafael Manaol, and Kraig Tee — all battling hard to climb the leaderboard.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Scarlet Yam, Felix Saludar and Penelope Sy, each holding steady with 230 points and eager to make their mark in the coming legs.

Fabul picked up his third straight win at Mt. Malarayat after a solid 75.

Over at Summit Point, Nicole Gan, fresh off a stint in Japan, dominated the girls’ 13-15 with a 73.

In the girls’ 10-12, Brianna Macasaet edged Mavis Espedido by one stroke with a 68, despite Espedido’s first-ever hole-in-one in the tournament.

Other recent winners at Mt. Malarayat include Charles Serdenia (B16-18), Mico Ungco (B13-15), James Padron (B8-9), and Luis Espinosa (B10-12). At Summit Point, Chloe Lim topped the G16-18 division, Adrianna Isabel Cabrera took the G8-9, and Tyly Bernardino won the G5-7.

The tour will resume on 7 September at the picturesque Club Filipino de Cebu, then moves north to the scenic Camp John Hay in Baguio on 14 September.

The excitement culminates at Luisita Golf & Country Club in Tarlac with the sixth leg on 8 November, followed by the grand finals on 9 November.
