BACOLOD CITY — Defending champion Luisita and rival Canlubang were tied for the lead after the first round of the 34th Philippine Airlines Senior Interclub golf team championships yesterday.
Both teams struggled on the putting surface with nobody breaking the 50-point barrier at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club course.
Eddie Bagtas led Luisita with 48 points, his round marred by four closing bogeys, including a botched tap-in in the final hole.
“I lost my temper,” conceded Bagtas who was backed by Jingy Tuason’s 46 and Demetrio Saclot’s 45.
An even-par card is worth 54 points under the Molave scoring system.
Luisita captain Jeric Hechanova was relieved of the outcome despite a bad day on the greens.
Canlubang had a chance to seize the lead in the final foursome, but Tommy Manotoc three-putted the ninth, their final hole to settle for 46 points.
“It was a bad putt,” rued Manotoc who rallied coming home after making the turn at 7-over
