DHL Am golf: Koreans to test Zaragosa

MANILA, Philippines—Koreans Park Min-Ung and Park Seong-dae hope to provide the challenge for Rupert Zaragosa as they join the fancied Filipino bet in the featured threesome in Tuesday’s opener of the 20th WWWExpress-DHL RVF Cup Amateur Golf Championship at Canlubang Golf and Country Club in Laguna.

In fact, Park Min-ung seeks to flash the form he showed in winning the Philippine Junior Open crown at Sherwood in 2013 as he sets out with Park Seong-dae and Zaragosa in the 8:50 a.m. flight on No. 1 at Cangolf’s North course.

Also expected to contend in the four-day championship are Justin Quiban, Southwoods’ main man in last year’s Fil-Am Golf Invitational, and Cebu bets Gen Nagai and Wei Wei Gao.

Jaime Patnongon, JP de Claro, Ricar Candinato, JR Gonzales, Raymart Tolentino, Ramir Roque, Carlo Villaroman, Bobby Celestino, Chester Calpotura and Joel Yamyamin.

Youthful Kristoffer Arevalo also seeks to make an impact while veteran Dave Hernandez hopes to use his familiarity with the par-72 layout, the home of the annual event put up WWWExpress and DHL Express and held as part of the PLDT Group’s National Amateur Golf Tour.

Also in the fold are Koreans Chung Jeon Woo, Kim Hyun Cheol and Kang Dong-guk.
