Alta Vista Golf and Country Club (AVGCC) kept its hold of the top spot while co-host Cebu Country Club (CCC) Team 2 jumped to second in the Aviator Division after the second day at the CCC.
AVGCC, which shared the lead with Zamboanga after the first round at 101 points, scored 116 in the second day for 217, eight points ahead of CCC. Seeing action for the first time, Gabriel Yap Jr. had 31 points, spiked by a birdie in the Par 5 seventh, while Efren Gica and Marvin Mendoza had 30 each. Blake Go scored 25, while Ferdinand Chua’s 24 wasn’t counted.
On the other hand, CCC Team 2, which was running fourth after Day 1, jumped to second place after scoring 113 in the second round at home. Christian Balangauan had two birdies in Holes 3 and 15 to finish with 33 points, while Baltaire Balangauan added 31 points. Baltaire had back-to-back birdies in Holes 8 and 9 but a pickup on Hole 13 dampened an otherwise great round. Marco Mendoza scored 26 points, while Frederic Chiongbian had 23. Pio Neri also had 23 but it wasn’t counted.
Day 1 co-leader Zamboanga dropped to third at 203 after scoring 102 yesterday.
