Kamayan golfers rout Media

The Kamayan Golf Club leaned on Gen. Gerry Doria to beat the Media golfers anew and retain the Tito Eduque Memorial Cup in the 27th Triple V-Media Golf Classic on Monday at Camp Aguinaldo Golf Club course.

Doria, thoroughly familiar with the course, put together a four-under par gross of 72 and a net 60 to key Kamayan’s 18-stroke victory over Media. Coach Virgil Villavicenio added a net 63 and Mingging Ortiz and Babes Francisco pitched in a 65 each to lead the Kamayan juggernaut.

Nilo Paurom of the Inquirer led the Media challenge with a net 63, winning the overall title for the Media event.

The 18-hole event finally got going under sunny skies after inclement weather forced its cancellation in 2013 and its postponement twice from this year’s original schedule on Oct. 26, birthday of the late coach and Triple V Group chair Tito Eduque.

Eduque’s son, Dingdong, and Vicvic Villavicencio hit the ceremonial drives.

Oliver Manda topped the guest division via tiebreak. Joe Cubelo and Doc Cubelo wound up second and third, respectively.

Jong Arcano of the Inquirer ruled the Class A Media division with a 67, beating Anthony Suntay, who also had a 67, in the tiebreak.

Media Class B winner was Alex Magno (68), followed by Jojo Robles (72) and Ernie Gonzales, also of the Inquirer (73). Corrie Narisma of the Inquirer took the Class C title with a 66.

The Inquirer’s Jun Engracia also took the Best Dressed special award.
