MANILA, Philippines – Gen Nagai expects another tough outing but hopeful of pulling off another escape act as he headlines the field in the National Stroke Play Championship, which gets going January 7 at Riviera’s Langer course in Silang, Cavite. Nagai survived a second round 81 with 74 and a gutsy 71 in last two days then nipped the Thai Youth Olympics gold medalist Vanchai Luangnitikul Thai in a three-man sudden death that included Singapore’s Lucius Toh to snare the crown in the kickoff leg of the PLDT Group National Amateur Golf Tour last year. With another stellar international roster of challengers, the Cebu-based Japanese braces for another grueling duel of power and mental toughness at the exacting par-71 layout in pursuit of back-to-back title feat in the country’s premier amateur championship organized and conducted by the National Golf Association of the Philippines. Meanwhile, registration for the 25th WExpress RVF Cup Amateur Open Golf Championship slated Feb. 11-14 at Canlubang Golf and Country Club is ongoing.
