Cangolf Am Open slated October 7-9
MANILA, Philippines - The Canlubang Amateur Open holds its 15th staging on Oct. 7-9 with Korean Park Min Ung tipped to return for a crack at a third straight crown in the men’s side and Pauline del Rosario expected to seek a repeat in the ladies side at Cangolf’s South course in Laguna.
Registration is ongoing for the three-day event staged annually by the host club in its continuing effort to help develop amateur golf. Aside from the centerpiece Open to be disputed over 54 holes and the ladies division (36 holes), the event also features 36-hole competitions in Classes A (11-and-below), B (12-18) and C (19-and-above).
For details, call Cangolf’s Makati office at (02) 897-6887 (Maite Tengco), fax (02) 890-9321 or email [email protected] or Cangolf’s Laguna office at (049) 543-2670 (Fely Anillo/Ann Dublado) or (049) 543-2640 to 43 loc. 231 or email [email protected].
Fees are pegged at P3,000 (men’s Open), P2,800 (Classes A, B and C and ladies) and P1,000 for CGCC members, inclusive of a free practice round. Deadline for listup is on Oct. 2.
Park scrambled with a two-under 70 at Cangolf’s north and pounced on Del Monte’s Jelbert Gamolo’s final round foldup to snatch a one-stroke victory over Tonton Asistio last year and retain the crown he won over top local player Rupert Zaragosa in 2013.
This year’s title chase is again expected to go down-to-the-wire with the South layout providing a different kind of challenge especially if the wind come into play.
Meanwhile, Del Rosario is also expected to go for a second win against her teammates in The Country Club stable along with the country’s leading amateurs, including the likes of Yuka Saso, Kayla Nocum, Lois Kaye Go, Sam Bruce and Annika Cedo.
