Reynor Dominguez scored 86 points to bring home the crown in the Rotary "Golf for a Cause" Tournament over the weekend at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club in Barangay Bata, Bacolod City.

The 51-year-old Dominguez, who had a handicap of 28 during the event that adopted the Stableford scoring system, said he is overwhelmed to snare the championship considering that he only started playing the sport two years ago.

Ray Lim reigned supreme in the class A hostilities with 80 points, while Matt Opada collected 84 points to take the title in class B. Jojo Quilop topped class C after posting 84 points as Juan Carlos Torre claimed the class D crown by registering 82 points.

The tournament, which was organized by the Rotary Club of Bacolod-Marapara, was the second leg of the Rotary District Governor's Cup. The first leg of the event was staged in Iloilo, while the third leg will be held in Zamboanga on April 27.

The Rotarian winners of the golf competitions were Kokoy Locsin III of RCB-Marapara in class A, RCB-South's Rene Silos in class B, Quilop of RCB-North in class C, and Raymund Padayhag of the RC of Zamboanga City-West in class D.

RCB-Marapara president Alfredo "Peb" Reyes said he would like to thank the players and the volunteers of the tournament as well as main sponsors Coca-Cola, DHL, Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort, Jocelyn Forge and RemBerg Insurance Consultants.

The proceeds of the event will used by RCB to fund its medical missions in the rural areas, he said. *CIT
