Forest Hills hosts WGAP tilt

MANILA, Philippines?Action in the 2009 WGAP (Women?s Golf Association of the Phils.) circuit resumes Sunday with Alabang out to duplicate its first round romp at home with another solid stint at the Forest Hills Golf Club in Antipolo.

The Alabang ladies took two of the three division titles disputed in the first leg in their turf last month while finishing runner-up in the other category to underscore their domination of the field in the early going of the circuit.

But it will be a different scenario at the wind-raked, up-and-down Antipolo layout, which offers a different kind of challenge for the competing field vying for top honors in team play as well as in the individual competition.

Alabang, bannered by Marilyn Reyes, Fenina Gorres, Rita Horan and Lorna Tabuena, assembled a 147 aggregate under the PAL scoring system to post a five-point victory over Canlubang and cop the Class A crown in the kickoff leg of the annual series organized by WGAP.
