Laput, Uy bag crowns in Chairman’s Cup golf

Former Philippine team junior player Jong Laput carded a net 40 under the Stableford System to win the Class A championship in the Chairman’s Cup held recently at the Forest Hills Golf and Country Club in Antipolo City.

Laput beat Antonio Olives (38) and Joey Ramoso (37) in the two-day event co-presented by Taylor Made Adidas and Golforce Inc. with Honda Cars Pasig, Globe Telecom, Pisanti Golf, The Turf Company and Fil-Estate Group of Companies as major sponsors.
