CLARK - Canlubang pounced on Luisita’s one-hole collapse Sunday to win the Philippine Airlines Senior Interclub golf team championships at the Mimosa Golf & Country Club.

The defending champion completed the come-from-behind victory through the solid efforts of rookie Zaldy Villa, Tommy Manotoc and Rolly Viray who combined for 149 points at the Mountainview course.

Canlubang finished the event with 575 points, five points clear of Luisita whose title bid was dashed at the par-4 15th hole.

Eddie Bagtas needed four putts to hole out, while teammates Jingy Tuason, Pepot Iñigo and Herminio Maravilla hit the water on the left side of the hole.

Luisita captain Jeric Hechanova said they managed to draw level with Canlubang at one point before the tragedy.

“We lost six points from that hole,” said Hechanova.

Villa carried the day for Canlubang with 51 points, capping his seniors’ debut with two closing birdies.

Manotoc, 67, made only one par in the last five holes for 49 points, a score matched by Viray. Rene Unson did not count with 47. (PR)
