Singapore—Armed with probably the best team assembled in years, Team Philippines could finally end a 12-year drought and reign supreme again in the Southeast Asian Amateur Golf Team Championship, more known as the Putra Cup, which tees off today at the Singapore Island Country Club here. National Golf Association of the Philippines secretary general Jun Galindez and director Pablo Soon are optimistic that with Rufino Bayron, Ferdinand Aunzo, Tonlits Asistio and Jhonel Ababa, the country is a shoo-in for a record 17th team title in the event’s rich 48-year history. |

The Filipino golfers joining the upcoming Asian Tour hope that a full week of rest and relaxation would them earn a maiden win the final half of the tournament, which runs from August 6 to 9. That part of the tour is the inaugural $310,000 Worldwide Selangor Masters 2008 set at the Seri Selangor Golf Club in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
Among the campaigners are Juvic Pagunsan, Tony Lascuna, Angelo Que, Artemio Murakami, and Mars Pucay.
So far, only Que has had a successful run in the tour. The 30-year-old star triumphed in the Philippine Open last April, followed by another win at the ICTSI-Mount Malarayat Championship leg of the Mercedes-Benz Tour. And earlier this month, he participated but didn’t make the cut in the prestigious British Open Championship.
But other than Que, the others have been grounded for most part of the first half.

Jennifer Rosales turned in a one-under-par round of 70 on the opening day of the 24th Annual Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Thursday in Sylvania, Ohio to finish in a logjam of 25 players in 32nd spot.
Dorothy Delasin, meanwhile, shot a one-over 72 and was in No. 73 spot at the end of the first round at the Highland Meadows Golf Club where play had to be suspended for some time due to lightning and rain.
But the day belonged to lovely Paula Creamer who set a new course and tournament record with her amazing eleven-under-par 60. She was five shots ahead of Eun-Hee Ji and Gloria Park who both turned in scores of six-under 65 while Eva Dahloff of Sweden who was on the same flight with Rosales was one shot behind with a 66.
