North checked another impending skid with a cluster of victories from the lesser lights and finally stopped South, 13 1/2-10 1/2, to clinch The Duel – North vs South 5 crown at the Camp John Hay Golf Club in Baguio on Friday. But Team South, which rallied from five down to snare the last Duel title in 2015 with a dominating 9-3 romp in singles, looked headed for another reversal when it took four of the next five matches to pull within half-a-point. Garalde, still winless on the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour, also went undefeated, humbling recent Calatagan leg winner Zanieboy Gialon, 5&3; Lam took the last two holes to stun two-leg winner Clyde Mondilla, 1-up; Bibat won Nos. 16 and 17 to trounce Rufino Bayron, 3&1; and Pucay won four in a five-hole stretch from No. North’s Gerald Rosales won No.
