Fernando, pals rule Anvaya Cove pro-am

MANILA, Philippines – Mhark Fernando complemented well with amateur partners Luis Ramirez, Benigno Victorio and Rolen Paulino as they pooled a 20-under 52 to rule the ICTSI Anvaya Cove Invitational pro-am tournament at Anvaya Cove Golf and Sports Club in Morong, Bataan recently.

Marvin Dumandan and teammates Bienvenido Perez, Jimmy Bustamante and Eimie Hedeager assembled a 52 to place second while Jhonnel Ababa, with Fred Salonga, Mario Pangan and Alex Ong, scored a 53 to finish third in the 18-hole tournament that drew the country’s leading pros along with their amateur partners from the sponsors and backers of the traditional pro-am event.

The wind-swept layout, carved out in the Bataan mountains near the boundary of former US naval base in Subic and built inside the 470 hectares land owned by the Ayala Land Corp. where long-time golf patron ICTSI operates its container business, has been PGT’s able partner the last two years, providing a different kind of challenge to the men of the tour with its top notch course, kept to championship condition all year.
