Rosal, Laurel, Chipman shine

MANILA, Philippines — National team coach Abe Rosal carded a 71 to capture the low-gross trophy while Matt Laurel took the low-net honors with a 68 in the Highlands Ladies Cup at the Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club.

Laurel, with a 21-handicap, had an eagle as he secured his victory via countback, wrapping up a fun-filled day of golf played under the System 36 format, spanning the Midlands and Lucky 9 courses.

In the ladies’ division, Eden Chipman fired a gross 80, which included two birdies, to secure a net 71 and claim the Division I title. She won through countback over Edelwisa Tolentino, who posted a similar net 71 from a gross 93.

Chipman also won the award for the most accurate drive on Hole 11, with her ball stopping just an inch from the target.
