Mendoza, Lee show class in Mercedes golf

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Marco Mendoza and Aimee Lee turned in superb rounds in tough conditions to top their respective divisions in the MercedesTrophy Golf Invitational at the Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club in Laguna.

Mendoza scored a net 40 points to capture the Class A plum while Lee reigned in the ladies side with a 72 from a gross 93 in the 18-hole tournament played over the posh 27-hole layout.

Simon Heo and Francis Wee shared the spotlight by ruling the Classes B and C with 46 and 44 points, respectively.

The winners in three men’s divisions and their respective runners-up along with the ladies champion will all represent the Philippines in the MercedesTrophy Asian Finals set in Brisbane in August via Philippine Airlines.

The best Filipino placer in the Asian Finals will clinch a berth in the World Finals set in Stuttgart, Germany in October.

Aside from the rare chance to play alongside the other regional winners, participants in the Asian Finals will also be treated to an experiential drive that will showcase the world-class performance and dynamic handling of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
