CEBU—The Sta. Lucia Golf Tour resumes today with the staging of the Cebu leg at Alta Vista Golf and Country Club where Eagle Ridge hopes to firm up its bid for the Club of the Year award.
A strong 1-2 finish in Group II shoved Eagle Ridge to the top of the overall race after the first leg at Rancho Palos Verdes in Davao and paced the chase for the award with 41 points.
Eagle Ridge is hard-pressed for a better performance in the 36-hole event serving as the Visayas stop of a nationwide series with Summit Point just one point behind with 40. Royale Tagaytay stayed within striking distance with 35.
Beverly Place lay fourth with 23 but the Pampanga golfers need to produce a win in any of the three divisions to catch up with the leaders.
Lakewood stood fifth with 21 followed by host Alta Vista 19, Rancho Palos Verdes 16 and Orchard and Caliraya Springs with 12 each in the event co-presented by PLDT Home, Royale Homes, Readycon, Marriot and OPMC.
Alta Vista’s Razi Razon and Jufil Sato (Group I), Eagle Ridge’s Eric Arbues and Raymundo del Rosario (II), Eduardo Aberin and Rodel Matias (III) and Mario Mercader and Maricel Amor (IV) topped their divisions in Davao.
