MANILA, Philippines — Levonne Talion, fresh off a dramatic come-from-behind victory over Rafa Anciano in the ICTSI Junior Philippine Golf Tour's kickoff leg at Eagle Ridge, is gearing up for another high-stakes showdown as the tour moves to Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Trece Martires, Cavite.

The second leg of the seven-stage Luzon Series fires off Tuesday, promising another action-packed chase for top honors and valuable ranking points.

Talion, who rallied from eight strokes down before edging Anciano on the second sudden-death hole to clinch the girls' 15-18 crown, seeks a repeat performance in the 54-hole event organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

But Anciano is out for redemption, aiming to replicate his strong start and deliver a steadier finish this time around after faltering down the stretch in their previous duel at Eagle Ridge's Norman course.

Also eyeing back-to-back wins are Lisa Sarines and Ryuji Suzuki, who dominated the 11-14 category in the season opener of the nationwide circuit put up by ICTSI.

But the path to repeat victories won't be easy. Lisa, who routed her twin sister Mona by 13 shots, now faces a stronger cast led by Ma. Althea Banez, Arielle Espartero, Keira Que, Stella Pallasigui, Kendra Garingalao, Eliana Dumalaog and Mona herself.
