                    [Summary] => Two years seem like a lifetime in the fast-moving world of Philippine basketball. Think about it.

That double eagle, fired by team mainstay Abe Rosal on the par-5 12th hole, enabled the Sweeties to seize initiative early and come up with a three-point edge over archrival Manila Southwoods with a 141 as the battle for top Interclub honors began at the plush wind-swept Palos Verdes.
