Joint graduation eyed in BIFF areas
GENERAL TRIAS, Cavite—Rupert Zaragosa bested Carlo Villaroman in a two-hole playoff to capture the Sta. Lucia Amateur Tour’s inaugural leg at Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club yesterday.
Villaroman wound up with 72 to tie Zaragosa (73) at the helm at 218 in the Open Division that set up the sudden death at Aoki course in the five-leg tour by Sta. Lucia Land Inc.
They both parred the first hole on the 18th before Zaragosa, 17, cruised to a par and watched the 14-year-old Villaroman missed the green on the approach for a bogey finish.
“Rupert played like a veteran in the extension,” said SLLI chair Vicente Santos.
Aniceto Mandanas (71) came in third with 223 in the event serving as one of the National Golf Association of the Philippines’ qualifiers for the National squad to the SEA Games.
Club bet Dan Emilio Cruz (75) and Raymart Tolentino (78) were fourth with 224s in the event also backed by Wilcon, Davies Paints, Pomelo Tee, and Gatorade. Other winners: Harmie Constantino, ladies’ title; Jung Kyung-young, men’s Class A; Kim Bong-suk, men’s Class B; Laia Barro, ladies’ Class A.
