GARY Sales of Villamor, Bong Sison of Manila Southwoods, and Maricel Amor of Royale Tagaytay captured the titles in their respective divisions after winning the finals matches yesterday in the 8th Philippine Golf Foundation National Tournament of Club Champions at Sta. Elena.

The 32-year-old Sales held off his bosom buddy Ricky delos Santos of Aguinaldo, pouncing on two big bogey miscues by the latter in the back nine to score a 2&1 decision for the men’s division crown of the tourney revived after two years by Inquirer Golf Magazine.

Sison didn’t give Oh Jie-sik of Orchard any chance after an early breakaway, cruising to a 6&4 win for the seniors division plum.
