MANILA, Philippines — Expect an exciting finish as the Superkit Tour reaches its final leg this weekend, with the crucial last stage set Saturday while the Finals is scheduled Sunday to decide the winners at the Luisita Golf and Country Club in Tarlac.

Some of the best young golfers in the country as well as previous tour winners will tee off this Saturday’s last leg, including Geoffrey Tan, Brie Macasaet, Nicole Gan, Mavis Espedido, Jared Saban, Jacob Gomez, Kristoffer Nadales and Stephanie Gan.

Alonso Fabu is the Order of Merit leader with a perfect 400 points through four legs, while Jean Pio Bitangcol and Rafael Manaol are at second and third spots with 310 and 300 points, respectively, in the 5-7 mixed division.

All three have actually qualified for Sunday’s finals. To accommodate more finalists, organizers have decided to add more spots for those seeing action on Saturday. As a result, several players from Cebu and Davao have signed up for the back-to-back events.

Players from Cebu are Marqaela Dy, Rocio Borromeo, Andoni Astor, David Gothong, Zeus Suzara, Jordino Mesina, Sebastian Sajuela, and Kvan Alburo, while representing Davao are Soleil Molde, Francesca Ng Ho, Alexandra Ng Ho, Zoey Mascarinas, Luke Marcus Habagat and Lucas Miguel Revilleza.

Organizers have prepared raffle prizes and giveaways for participants aside from trophies and medals for top performers.

The winners in the grand finals earn berths to the Superkit International Finals this coming January 9-11 at Guilin Leman Golf Club in Guangzi, China.
