Baguio, Philippines — The seniors tournament begins today with players bracketed in the Fil and Am A, B and C opening their bids in their respective divisions in the 72nd Fil-Am Men’s Invitational at the Baguio Country Club and Camp John Hay Golf Club courses here.
Camp John Hay Hotels is the favorite in Fil-A while Baguio Blue Bloods is the marked team in Am-A although it faces stiff competition against Forest Hills and Pradera Verde.
The Fil-B will be as exciting as co-hosts BCC and CJH go head-to-head. However, they can’t be complacent because Cargo Freight and Davao Eaglemasters I might spring a surprise.
The ICSI-TMI squad, one of the most experienced in the field, might go all the way to the crown in Fil-C.
Luista Golf Club will defend its Fil-Championship crown it won in 2019 before the Seniors Fil-Am was grounded due to the pandemic. One-time champ Megafiber heads the list in Am-Championship.
The two-week event is held in partnership with Baguio Country Club, Camp John Hay Golf Club, The Manor, The Forest Lodge, and Le Chef. Event presenters are 3K Rock Engineering and Construction Corp., Toyota, Boysen and Columbia Sportswear.
