Time Cargo rules Barako Golf Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Time Cargo, despite missing the services of a key player on the final day, managed to score 90 to rule the championship division with 294 points in the second Barako Golf Cup played at the Summit Point Golf and Country Club here.

Rolly Bregente had a solid performance with 32 points, Jeff Lumbo had 30 and Edison Tabalin a 28 in the four-to-play, three-to-count format. Gary Sales, the fourth member, skipped the final day due to an emergency situation.

“The pressure was on those three (Rolly, Jeff and Edison) and I’m glad they displayed nerves of steel and pulled through,” said Time Cargo team manager Ruel Cabral.

“It was our first try and we won. We hope to keep winning in the years to come,” he said.

Katy’s Farm Team-1, last year’s champion, was second with 283 after an 87 anchored on the 31 of Patrick Tambalque, 29 of Henry Bolano and 27 of Jikjik Abdon. Erik Escalona’s 25 did not count.

Katy’s Farm Malarayat Team-1 was third with 90-266.
