MANILA Southwoods-Masters and Cebu Country Club renew their rivalry Tuesday at the start of the 11th Philippine Airlines Ladies Interclub golf team championship at the Camp John Hay Golf Club in Baguio City.

The SW-Masters squad is gunning for a record sixth straight title against a team it beat by an average of 2.5 points in the last two years.

“It’s going to be tight, that’s for sure,” said SW-Masters playing captain Claire Ong.

Last year in Bacolod City, the SW-Masters rode on Abby Arevalo’s 54 points to edge CCC by four points.

Arevalo won’t be around this week to defend her individual title, but SW-Masters will not be lacking in talents.

Pauline del Rosario, who finished a strong second behind pro Princess Superal in the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Ladies Invitational last week, spearheads the defending champions.

Joining the 17-year-old Del Rosario are junior standouts Mikhaela Fortuna, Bernice Ilas and Sofia Chabon.

Fortuna, 15, and Ilas, 14, finished fourth and sixth, respectively at Eagle Ridge while Chabon, 15, is a member of last year’s champion team.

Completing the squad are holdovers Lora Roberto, Serafina Kim, and Andrea Pineda.
