Megafiber holds sway, nears title
BAGUIO—Megafiber settled for a 103 at Baguio Country Club but still padded its lead from 11 to 14 points over defending champion Camp John Hay in the third round of the seniors Fil Championship of the 64th San Miguel Fil-Am golf tournament here yesterday.
Rene Unson shot 28 points after shooting 30 and 31 at the nearby Camp John Hay layout in the first two days to lead Megafiber’s charge. Mari Hechanova, playing out of Canlubang, chipped in 26 points while Ben Jacinton and team manager Albert Garcia tossed in 25 and 24 points, respectively, under the Molave scoring system.
With a 337 aggregate, Megafiber stood 14 points clear of John Hay, which pooled a 105 for a 323. Fred Puckett played true to form and fired 32 points but Park Jong-won and Bong Mandapat settled for 26 points each and Lee Ki Seung added 21 markers.
John Hay actually took charge in the early going but fell behind after Lee was found to have used a non-conforming driver in the first two rounds and team was penalized.
Pugo Adventure owner Eugene Martin stole the spotlight by firing the second hole-in-one in the tournament on No. 9 of the BCC. He used an 11-iron Honma Beres and Titleist No. 2 ball.
