Cebu CC guns for repeat in Bacolod

Bacolod City will host the 73rd Philippine Airlines Interclub and the 34th PAL Seniors golf team championships in February and March next year as Cebu Country Club, which won the centerpiece men’s title coming from the Founder’s Division, seeks a repeat.

The Men’s Regular team event is set March 4-7 with Cebu CC out to prove that it can win outside of its home course where it turned back fancied Manila Southwoods last year at its well-manicured home.

Cebu CC tallied 516 points and beat the Carmona-based squad by nine points last year, marking only the second time that a team outside the championship division won the Interclub. Veterans Golf Club first did the trick in 1988.

Seniors play will be held Feb. 26-29 with defending champion Luisita and Canlubang renewing their rivalry.

In March, Luisita staved off Canlubang’s final round rally to win by three points, collecting 569 points.

It was Luisita’s 17th crown, solidifying its status as the most successful club in the Seniors division.
