Rosalie Heo shot 40 Modified Stableford points in windy day, Karen Buenaventura made a 35 and Farah Imperial and Hee Kyung Jun added 34 apiece for the hosts’ 143 output in the premier class of the annual event presented by Champion Infinity.
Alabang drew a 36 from Lorna Tabuena, a pair of 34s from Jocelyn Garcia and Ana Luisa Mendoza and a 33 from Marilyn Reyes for a 137, nipping Camp Aguinaldo for runner-up honors in the two-day tournament organized by Women’s Golf Association of the Phils.
Canlubang, with Colo Ventosa firing a 37, assembled a 135 for fourth while Villamor, led by individual winner Harmie Constantino’s 38 points, made a 135 for fifth followed by Forest Hills (128), Sta. Elena (125) and Orchard (118) in that order.
