UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- De La Salle University completed a sensational sweep of the inaugural UAAP golf tournament, claiming all four titles at stake in Season 88 at the Tagaytay Midlands.The Green Archers and Lady Archers put the finishing touches on their masterclass on Thursday, when they secured both team crowns as well as men&#x27;s and women&#x27;s individual titles. Leading La Salle&#x27;s charge was Perry Bucay, who shrugged off an early surge by UP&#x27;s Joshua Buenaventura before regaining control midway through the final round to complete a seven-stroke triumph in the men&#x27;s individual competition with a 74.Buenaventura briefly ignited hopes of a dramatic comeback with two birdies against a bogey through the first four holes while Bucay stumbled with a bogey-double bogey stretch starting on No. 4. What had been a three-shot cushion suddenly became a one-shot deficit for the La Salle ace.But champions respond under pressure, and Bucay did exactly that.He steadied himself with two birdies against a bogey over the next five holes for a 37 at the turn, while Buenaventura unraveled with back-to-back double bogeys from No. 8 for a 39. The momentum swing proved decisive.Bucay calmly navigated the back nine with a 37 to finish with a two-over card and a four-day aggregate of five-over 293, sealing the victory and the gold medal.Buenaventura settled for silver at 300 after a 78, while another La Salle standout, Zach Castro, secured bronze at 304 following an 81.&quot;It feels ecstatic. We&#x27;re all very happy to win the first-ever UAAP golf title,&quot; said Bucay.&quot;I just focused on staying steady. On the final day, a lot of players get tired, so I had to keep my stamina and focus. It&#x27;s draining not just physically, but mentally as well,&quot; he added.&quot;Hopefully, we can sustain this success. UAAP is different because it&#x27;s the highest collegiate sports organization, so the recognition and support are on another level,&quot; Bucay said, while also crediting their stint in the ICTSI Intercollegiate Tournament last year.The women&#x27;s division produced another La Salle showcase as Julia Lua survived a fierce all-day duel with teammate Alexa Dacanay to complete a dominant 1-2 finish for the Lady Archers.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778764822991UAAP 88 Golf Awarding - DLSU (champion)-9998.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The La Salle women&#x27;s golf team in UAAP Season 88.

UAAP Media</div>Lua delivered clutch birdies and pars down the stretch to rescue an 80 and finish with a 330 total, defeating Dacanay by four strokes after the latter, who tied Lua with seven holes to play, hobbled at the finish, fumbling with two bogeys and a double bogey on the last hole for an 83 and 334. Ateneo&#x27;s Monique Mendoza, who led in the first round, wound up third at 343 following an 88.With Janine Yusay contributing a 105, La Salle amassed a final-round 268 and a four-day total of 1056 to storm to the women&#x27;s team championship by 21 shots over Ateneo, which finished with 1077 after a 274 behind rounds of 88 from Mendoza, and 92 and 94 from Simi Tinio and Andie Joson, respectively.UP placed third at 1138 after a 283 built around Ava Heredia and Annika Gozum&#x27;s pair of 91s and Katrisse Datoc&#x27;s 101. UST and Adamson wound up fourth and fifth with 320-1289 and 365-1478, respectively.The La Salle men were every bit as imposing.Jacob Cajita and Martin Lu backed Bucay&#x27;s 74 with 75 and 76, respectively, as the Green Archers closed with a 225 for an overwhelming 898 total – 30 strokes clear of UP&#x27;s 928.Miggy Roque shot a 75 for the Fighting Maroons, while Buenaventura had a 78, and Emilio Carpio added an 83 in UP&#x27;s final-round 236.Ateneo took third at 938 after a 234 behind Schmuel Tan&#x27;s 74, a 79 from Mich Romero, and an 81 from either Juan Escano and Glenn Unabia. UST and Adamson finished with 262-1005 and 367-1477, respectively.
