    RIANNE Malixi fired a closing 70 for a 15-stroke victory on Thursday in the ICTSI Midlands Ladies Classic in Tagaytay.

    The 14-year-old amateur golfer had a 54-hole total of three-under 213. The winning margin was one stroke off the tour record of 16 set by Princess Superal at Tagaytay Highlands in 2018.

    Malixi got to three under through 12 holes highlighted by eagle on No. 6, but double bogeyed the par-4 No. 13 then birdied the 16th and finished with nines of 33-37.

    Harmie Constantino placed second, firing a final-round 75 for a 228 total.

    As the top pro finisher, Constantino pocketed the P116,250 prize. She took top spot in the Order of Merit in her rookie season with total earnings of P609,750 over eight legs.

    Sunshine Baraquiel, winner at Highlands last month, shot a second straight 77 for joint third place at 230 with Marvi Monsalve, who carded a 76. Each received P75,000.
