2 teams lead Eagle Ridge 4×4 golf

RAMIL Villanueva and partner Norberto Liwanag and the Roy Sausa-Gerardo de Chavez tandem each combined for 124 points to set the pace in Class A halfway through the 4×4 Invitational of the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club in Gen. Trias, Cavite, last weekend.

Both teams played the Norman course (aggregate) and Aoki (best ball) under the Stableford format with the leaders hoping to sustain their charge when they play the Dye course (scramble) tomorrow and the Faldo layout (aggregate) in Saturday’s final round of the event presented by Concepts Golf Management.
