Alex Tudela topped the Saipan Golfers Association’s March Ace of the Month Tournament after beating 16 other golfers last March 16 at the Coral Ocean Point Golf Course.
Tudela actually finished tied with Juan L. Babauta after both finished with identical net scores of 69. The former, however, took the March plum on a complicated scorecard tiebreak as both players finished tied after three handicap holes.
The March tourney winner wound up with the 69 after shooting a gross of 75. The six-handicapper fired a 38 in the front nine and a 37 in the back.
Babauta, for his part, arrived at his 69 after a gross of 80. The 11-handicapper carded a 38 and 42 in the front and back.
John “Nani” Cruz completed the Top 3 after turning in a net 70. He came away with a 44 and a 45 to finish with a gross of 89. Cruz sports a handicap of 19.
In the closest to the pin competition, Frances M. Sablan won hole No. 3, Das Krishnan on hole No. 7, Babauta on hole No. 12, and Tudela on hole No. 14.
In the longest drive, Steve Balakrishna and Ed Manibusan were without peer on holes No. 6 and 18, respectively.
SGA will hold its April Ace of the Month Tournament on April 27 at Laolao Bay Golf & Resort’s east course. The tee time will be announced later. (Saipan Tribune)
