Eastridge takes Interclub first-round lead
MANILA, Philippines — Hungry Eastridge-Primehomes team gutted out a courageous performance for a four-point lead over old tormentor and defending champion Manila Southwoods in the first round of the 76th Philippine Airlines (PAL) Interclub Men’s Championship division at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club in Bacolod yesterday.
With Rolando Bregente Jr. shooting a one-over-par 71 worth 35 points and Chris Jhon Remata accounting for 33, the Rizal-based squad recorded 99 points to make its intentions of going all the way this time after back-to-back runner-up finishes.
“We’re happy to be leading despite the conditions,” non-playing skipper Gimo Asuncion said after the team counted either 31s of Gary Sales and Edison Tabalin.
Southwoods, the champion in five of the last six editions, got 34 points from Perry Bucay, 31 from Filipino-Japanese Shin Suzuki and 30 from Santino Laurel for its 95 as reigning national champion Zeus Sara failed to count with a 29.
Tagaytay Highlands-Team IMG was just another point behind.
