Sta. Elena, E'ridge hold Mizuno elims

Sta. Elena and Eastridge recently completed their respective qualifiers for the course-hopping Mizuno Scramble Classic with Bones Floro and Vinice Godio leading the winners after posting a series record score of 11-under-par.

Floro and Godio, both club champions at Sta. Elena, took a seven-stroke win over Bryan Cockrell and Bing Liboro in Division I of the 18-hole tourney.

Winning the other two divisions at Sta. Elena were the husband-and-wife tandems of Daniel-Carmela Lee and Joe-Frey Sullivan to complete the Sta. Elena team for next year’s grand finals.

The Lees nipped Leslie Limsico-Erika Morihiro in the countback for the Division 2 plum after both pairs returned 71s. The Sullivans, with a score of 74, beat Makoto Maegawa and Gabby Villareal by two.

Over at Eastridge in Binangonan, Rizal, the pairs of Col. Ted Runes-King Sumulong, Col. Alex Ignacio-Allen Santos and Patrick Pajares-Randy Cabangon grabbed the three slots disputed.

Runes and Sumulong finished two strokes ahead of Jasper Kawachi-Hector Chua in Division I with their 66, Ignacio-Santos also wound up two strokes clear of Owen Lee and Tito Eusebio with their 67 and Pajares-Cabangon scored a 75 to beat Gil Tanquilut-Felipe Mendoza by three.

Valley and Forest Hills had earlier hosted the first two legs of the Mizuno Scramble series.

Il Hun Jeong/Arnold Duay, Ton Ton San Diego/Violy Pegels and Ramon Garcia/Ramon Garcia Jr. won at Valley while Damasus Wong/Luis Laureta, Ray Estrada/Ed Ramirez and Willie Cabalce/Dionisio Littaua topped the Forest leg.

The next stop is at Royal Northwoods in Bulakan on Oct. 30.
