Plana, Ng top winners in Charity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Jun Plana kept the men’s overall low gross crown with a two-under 70 while Reese Ng matched par 72 to reign in the women’s side of the Chairman’s Charity Cup at the Legends and Masters courses of the Manila Southwoods in Carmona, Cavite.

But it was Shigeyuki Masutomi who drove home with the biggest prize in the two-day tournament as he won the Mitsubishi Xpander GLS 1.5G 2WD AT during the grand raffle draw at Southwoods Veranda. He tied for 24th in Seniors III with 34 points from a gross 90 but took the coveted prize, courtesy of Mitsubishi Motors Phils. and Alpine Motors Corp.-Fuso Carmona.

Plana, who led Southwoods’ victory in the Fil-Am Invitational in Baguio recently, also captured the overall low gross trophy in 2019 before the host club’s premier Members/Sponsors-Guests event took a hiatus due to pandemic. His two-under card was also worth 38 points under the Individual Net Stableford scoring system.

Anthony See finished second with a 73 while Joseph Tambunting shot a 74 for third.

Ng, on the other hand, dominated the ladies side with her even-par card worth 36 gross points, with Kristine Sison finishing second with 84 for 24 gross points while Aimee Lee put in an 87 worth 23 points for third overall.

Raul Magpantay nailed the seniors low gross trophy with a 73 and 35 gross points.
