13th PAL Ladies Interclub
Pradera starts title-retention bid in PAL Ladies Interclub
DAVAO CITY – Asian Games champion Yuka Saso kicks off Pradera Verde ’ s title-retention bid Wednesday at the start of the 13th Philippine Airlines Ladies Interclub golf team championships at the Palos Rancho Verdes Golf and Country Club .
The 17-year-old Fil-Japanese will play her first tournament since collecting two gold medals in the recent Asiad in Jakarta , Indonesia .
“ Mag-eenjoy lang ako . Tingin ko maganda naman ang tsansa naming ,” said Saso who set a record 59 points , five-under in stroke play , last year .
Pradera Verde made a smashing debut last year in Cebu City , clobbering the field with a record 638 points , 43 points clear of five-time champion Manila Southwoods .
Only two members of that team remain , Saso and Annyka Pineda-Cayabyab , 14-year-old
daughter of Lubao Mayor Mylyn Pineda Cayabyab .
Reinforcing the squad are four Malaysian juniors , a Korean teen based in Angeles City and Rianne Malixi , the youngest at 11 years old .
Pradera Verde captain Norman Sto . Domingo said Saso and Korean Luna Shin will definitely see action in the first round with either Cayabyab or Malixi and one of the Malaysians backing them up .
Except for the Malaysians who were set to arrive later in the day , the rest of the squad played their first practice round Wednesday .
The Malaysians making their debut in the country ’ s premier ladies ’ team event are Ika Nasser , 16 ; Charlayne Chong , 16 ; Vinisha Gunaseelan , 16 ; and Eliza Mae Kho , 17 .
Manila Southwoods is coming to the event with a re-tooled team , infusing new blood in its
Fil-Jap Asian Games golf champion Yuka Saso

desire to restore its dominance in the annual event .
Led by internationalist Sofia Chabon and Sunshine Baraquiel , the Carmona-based squad is tapping Annika Guangko , Mafy Singson , Laurea Duque , Mariel Tee , Samantha Dizon and Tin Torralba , who played for Pradera last year .
“ Our players have been together for more than a month now and are playing fairly well ,” Southwoods captain Claire Ong said . “ The players are in high spirits .”
With Southwoods opting not to defend its Founders division title , Alabang and Del Monte are expected to fight for the secondtier championship .
Returning to defend their crowns are Sportswriters champion Eagleridge and Friendship titlist Wack Wack .
On Tuesday , PAL president Jaime Bautista led the ceremonial tee-off ushering in the four-day tournament . Joining him were
PAL officials Bong Velasquez and Vic Suarez .
The Molave scoring system will be used in the four-toplay , three-to-count team event . An even par score is worth 54 points .
Major sponsors for the 13th PAL Ladies Interclub include Airbus , Bombardier , People Asia , UM Broadcasting Network and Primax Broadcasting Network .
Other sponsors are TFC , Mastercard , SEDA Hotel , SM Supermalls and Banco de Oro . Donors are Asia Brewery and Philippine National Bank . ●
