Tudela faced a tough battle as he started slow, closing the front nine with a gross score of 42. Fortunately, he found his swing on the back nine, increasing his odds with a gross of 38 for a total score of 80. Supported by a handicap of 11, Tudela’s net score was 69 which put him at the top of the food chain.
Ed Manibusan also showed promise and had a steady performance, scoring a gross of 40 on the front nine and 41 on the back nine for a total gross of 81. But with a handicap of 9 only, Manibusan fell short with a net score of 72.
Das Krishnan was the official leader of the day with a score of 38 on the front nine and 39 on the back nine for a gross of 77. Aided by a 13 handicap, his net score was 64. Like Manibusan, however, who won the title in January, Krishnan has already bagged an Ace — in his case, in May.
For the Closest to the Pin side event, Tudela made the list at hole #4; Krishnan nabbed hole #6; Nick Sablan, hole #11; and Ed Sablan hole #15.
For the Longest Drive, Tony Deleon Guerrero won the award for hole #7 while Juan “Pan” Guerrero sizzled at hole #18.
