Luisita regains lead versus Southwoods

BAGUIO, Philippines — Luisita banked on the pair of 30 points from Abe Rosal and Benjie Sumulong to wrest the lead against Manila Southwoods in the Fil-Championship division of the 73rd Fil Am Golf Invitational at the Baguio Country Club yesterday.

The Tarlac-based squad also got 28 from Dan Cruz and 26 from Rodel Mangulabnan for 114 and three-day total of 380.

“It was a solid team effort today,” said Luisita non-playing skipper Jeric Hechanova.

Manila Southwoods made 105 but no one from its players had 30 or more at the tough par-61 layout. Raul Miñoza was the top man with 29 followed by Manfred Guangko 28, Jun Plana 25 and Bong Brobio 23 for the team’s 371 output.

In the Am Championship, Joseph Tambunting scored 35 points and Monet Garcia added 33 and Manila Southwoods-2 moved a step closer to the crown.
