Reyes, Cajayon banner ‘HLC’ cast

MANILA, Philippines — Marilyn Reyes and Arman Cajayon are returning to the Highlands Ladies Cup with a mission – to defend their titles in the 16th staging of the annual event tomorrow at Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club.

Reyes, a 13-handicapper, secured the Class A trophy in the ladies division last year with a net 69, edging out Micah Barrera by one, while Cajayon captured the men’s Class B crown with a net 70, pulling off a one-stroke victory over Generoso Mamaril.

Keen competition is seen in the overall gross and net championships as well as in Class A of both the ladies and men’s divisions and in Classes B and C in ladies and men’s classes, respectively.

The sold-out tournament will be played across both the Midlands and Lucky 9 courses. It will kick off with an 8 a.m. shotgun start, played under the System 36 scoring format.
