Patricio pair rules Sherwood golf

The husband-and-wife tandem of Oscar and Nila Patricio carded a net eight-under-par 64 then nipped Butch Campos and Nini Samaniego in the countback for the Group I title in the recent monthly tournament for members of the Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Trece Martirez, Cavite.

Playing the exciting scramble format, the Patricios blended their shots well enough to match the score of the Samaniegos and prevailed by virtue of their better back nine score of 36.

Boy Escano and Peng Perez de Tagle placed third with a 65.

In Group II, Alfredo Javellana and his wife won with a net 58 with the pair of Sandie Squillantini-Teri de Castro (59) and Merwin and Artie Mediana (61) claiming third place.

Sherwood Hills is set to host the third leg of The Professional Golf Tour this coming week under the sponsorship of SmartZed and Ericsson.
