LEN YAPTANGCO HOLED a greenside pitch for birdie on the 18th that secured the winning point for Tagaytay Highlands against a never-say-die Valley side on Friday and a finals slot in the Ladies Federation League.

Wack Wack claimed the other championship slot after besting Alabang to seal the title duel between former champions.

With Valley up, 2-1, and Tagaytay needing a draw in the remaining format to avoid going into a playoff, the pressure fell on Yaptangco and high-low partner Karen Buenaventura.

The pressure intensified further when Len and Karen teed off on the par-5 18th all even with Lin Mangulabnan and Dina Flancia. All four missed the green on their third shots before Yaptangco sent her teammates into a celebration with a superb pitch that rolled into hole.

Counting the bestball win of Rosalie Heo and Hannah See, Tagaytay finished the semifinal with a 4.5-3.5 result against Valley after a 3-1 win earlier at the latter’s course. Wack Wack swept its home games for a 7-1 demolition of Alabang.
