Interclub champs annex Sherwood Cup title

-

MANILA, Philippines - Fresh from their conquest of the PAL Ladies Interclub, the trio of Lora Roberto, Nini Samaniego and Claire Ong executed precise putting on super fast greens as they combined for a low gross of 11-under-par 61 to romp away with overall title in the inaugural Sherwood Cup at the Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Trece Martires, Cavite.

Roberto, Samaniego and Ong, who were part of the Manila Southwoods squad that won the PAL event in Davao, made a total of 11 birdies in a show of excellent greens reading in the Jack Nicklaus signature course.

The low net honors went to the team of Yun Jae-wan, Hwang Joon-soon and Luis Oh after a net six-under 66. The husband-and-wife tandem of Oca and Nila Patricio teamed up with Eagle Ridge golf director Bobby Chico for a net 60 for the Division 1 diadem.

The event was sponsored by Golforce Inc., Turf Company, Greens ‘N Turf, Interconnect System, Jun Jun Plana, Mizuno, Peniel Kim, Forest Hills, Isuzu, Manila Southwoods, Royal Northwoods, Custom Clubmakers and Promise Land.

Camp John Hay Golf Club, CJH The Manor, G & W Clubshares, Rizgolf, Splendido Taal, Jims Const., JJMJR, Tanduay Ice, MCS Dev., FSR Security, WFMC and Whealth Inc. backed the tournament. Business Mirror was media partner.

The all-Korean girls of Jeoung Ni-Jeong, Kim Young-ok and Lee Hee-jung were victors in Division 2. Incidentally, Lee aced the par-3, No. 6 but she didn’t get any of the major hole-in-one prizes that included a Texas Eagle cart, P100K cash or Mizuno set. Instead, she was given an LCD television.

Mizuno’s Paolo Cagalingan, Justin Limjap and Nico Sevilla topped the sponsors and guests division with a net 62 in the event, which coincided with the opening of the club’s La Palestra game room, Sonrisa function room and launching of the Riva Vella Villas.
