Abe Avena and Gerald Katigbak set out as the marked players as they gun for back-to-back in the Philippine Seniors and Mid-Amateur Open Championships, respectively, which get going Wednesday at the Mt. Avena, who ruled the event for players 55-years-old-and-above at Summit Point in emphatic fashion last year, is brimming with confidence as he heads to the 54-hole tournament set at Mt. But a host of others are raring to spoil his repeat bid, including Rolly Viray, Rudy Amata, Butch Bacunawa, Mike Besa, Jose Mari Hechanova, Dave Hernandez and Tony Olives. Other titles to be disputed in the event, organized and conducted by the National Golf Association of the Philippines, are the Seniors Division I (55-59), Division II (60-65), and Super Seniors (66-and-above) to be played over 36 holes on Thursday and Friday.
