Phoenix Golf Am unfolds tomorrow at Beverly Place

MANILA, Philippines - A wide-open race for the Open Division championship title is in the offing in the Phoenix Premium 98 Amateur Open Series as the first two winners, Joseph Tambunting and LJ Go, are skipping the final leg on Friday at the Beverly Place Golf Club in Mexico, Pampanga.

Without them, a new champ would be crowned among the more than 100 players expected, said Phoenix Petroleum vice president for external affairs Raymond Zorilla, who will test out Beverly Place’s tough back nine, which was opened early this year.

Aside from the Open, the event sponsored by Magsaysay Transport Logistics Services and Banco de Oro-Unibank, will also stake trophies in Classes A to C and Seniors and offer eight vehicles – four each from Foton and Tata – as prizes for ace makers in all par-3 holes.

The three-leg series was initiated by Phoenix Petroleum to boost Philippine golf and discover talented youngsters. 

For 2016, they are increasing the number to seven, ensuring top notch competition for the amateurs.

Pioneer Insurance, Ford Pampanga, VMJ Evergreen, Megafiber, X-1R Performance Products, GPS Tracker, 3636, Landbank, Mercedes-Benz, Union Bank, TOIC, Green Future, Cebu Pacific, China Bank, Steel Asia, and Globe are backers.
