BACOLOD - Never letting<br />
up until the very end,<br />
Manila Southwoods ran<br />
away with the Regular<br />
Men’s title in the PAL<br />
Interclub to take another<br />
step towards duplicating a<br />
feat done just once before.<br />
Comfortably ahead going<br />
into the final day at<br />
Marapara with a 20-point<br />
lead, the Carmona-based<br />
squad didn’t leave any<br />
room for anyone to stage a<br />
comeback and amassed a<br />
closing 146 for a 72-hole<br />
551 tally for a fourth<br />
straight title, just one shy of<br />
the record.<br />
Southwoods, which became<br />
just the third team to<br />
win four consecutive times,<br />
prevailed by an astounding<br />
41 points over Luisita,<br />
which nipped Canlubang<br />
in the bud by eight points.<br />
Southwoods triumphs again;<br />
nears Interclub record streak<br />
The margin of victory is<br />
one of the biggest and<br />
accentuated Southwoods’<br />
dominance of the field, and<br />
more importantly, it moved<br />
the squad within another<br />
title of matching a five-year<br />
run by Canlubang from<br />
2006-2010.<br />
“This only goes to show<br />
that our grassroots program<br />
continues to work,” an elated<br />
Thirdy Escano, Southwoods’<br />
non-playing skipper,<br />
said of the victory.<br />
The Sugar Barons actually<br />
had two four-year<br />
championship streaks,<br />
counting its victories from<br />
2000-2003 thats only 1 four<br />
year set.<br />
Taisei Shimizu reprised<br />
The veteran Jun Jun Plana’s<br />
32 was the fourth-best score<br />
for Southwoods, which got<br />
a measly 25 from probound<br />
Jama Reyes.<br />
Southwoods is also set to<br />
lose Tom Kim, last year’s<br />
individual champion, to the<br />
pro ranks, but Escano<br />
believes that his squad is<br />
good for championship<br />
runs at least for the next<br />
three years.<br />
“We have young, brilliant<br />
players still waiting for<br />
their chance to shine,”<br />
Escano said. “Southwoods<br />
is committed to giving<br />
these players the break they<br />
need. We are simply giving<br />
back what the game of golf<br />
has given to us.”<br />
