Emil Perez carded a 12-under-par net 60 to win the overall title in the three-day Chairman’s Cup annual tournament of the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club played at the Masters and Legends courses in Carmona, Cavite over the weekend.

Perez, a 17-handicapper, actually assembled nines of 38-39 for a 77 while Korean and fellow member Kim Jong-Min carded a 69 to claim the best gross score in the three-day event which drew a record number of 600 participants.

“I was completely awed that a lot of our members played in the Chairman’s Cup. It only shows that through proper planning and handling of tournaments, these guys will show up and compete. I would like to express my gratitude to them for their continuous support,” said Southwoods chairman Bob Sobrepeña.
