BAGUIO CITY (Dec. 1, 2025) — A1/MGC kept its grip on the Fil D Seniors lead after opening its Baguio Country Club (BCC) stint with 70 points for a 255 total, widening its advantage to 16 points going into the final round of the 75th Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament.
Ramon Ocampo carried the squad with 25 points, Arsenio Madriaga added 17, while Gabriel Javelosa and Edward Isidro chipped in 14 apiece.
Abetamu stayed in second with 60 points for a 239 aggregate, while BCC Too faltered with a 47 for 221, now 34 points behind A1/MGC and 18 back of Abetamu.
But the day belonged to LMG Golf Cabanatuan, which made the biggest leap in the division after firing a flight-best 76, pulling itself into contention with a 218 total—a run that would have placed them just one point behind BCC Too were it not for a two-point penalty on Day 2.
Xerxes Cortel uncorked a flight-high 27 to anchor LMG’s balanced surge, backed by Lawrence Escuadro’s 18, Rafael Otic’s 17, and Bener Bauto’s 14. The team surged from fifth to fourth, overtaking a struggling 13th Tee Golf Club (CAGC), which could only card 49 and saw its nine-point cushion turn into a 14-point deficit.
At BCC, Renato Mijares carded 20 points to lead Sandigan Golfers 1 to 53 points for a 201 total, still comfortably ahead in Fil F Seniors despite losing ground.
Sandigan, which incurred a two-point penalty on Day 1, remains 12 points clear of Jasper after contributions from Crizaldo Nieves (17), Crizaldo Nieves Jr. (13) and Howard Jess Mijares (12).
Jasper posted 55 points for a 189 total, led by Romingo Sarmiento’s 16. Two shots back at 187 is Hillsiders, which turned in 49 points.
Over at Camp John Hay, co-host BCC Team 2 continued its steady march on top of Am D Seniors, firing 71 points behind Mar Bustos (19), Richard Difuntorum (18) and a pair of 17s from Christian Bautista and Ed Basbas. They now carry a 211 total, an 18-point lead entering the final round.
Senior Golf of Veterans made the division’s biggest move after blasting a flight-best 84, vaulting from sixth to second with a 193 total. Glenn Reyes led the charge with 24, followed by Ariel Francisco (22), Tomas Vargas (20) and Demetrio Miranda (18).
Their surge pushed Kumpadres–Beneco and Robros–JV Golf Team down to a tie for third at 192.
Kumpadres–Beneco, which shadowed BCC the past two rounds, managed only 65, with Beneco GM Melchor Licoben limited to 10 at the longer John Hay layout. Artemio Bacoco paced the team with 21, while Paul Diaz and Leonard Sab-it added 17 each.
Robros–JV stayed in podium contention after a 72, while Eagle Masters and FOTC Glen Eagles Team 2 slid a notch down.
Carlito Realuyo erupted for 23 points as Fairgolf Club of Sydney Team 2 produced a flight-best 54, seizing the Am F Seniors lead with 143 points, a commanding 12-point cushion heading into the final round.
Two-day leader Sandigan Golfers 2 sputtered with just 37 points for 131, barely staying ahead of Team Hollywood, which closed in with a 52 for 130.
