SIX NATIONAL BETS OFF TO BANGKOK FOR THAILAND AMATEUR OPEN

The National Golf Association of the Philippines is sending six amateur aces as part of its talent development program in preparation for more high-caliber international and local competitions in the coming months.
Leaving for Bangkok, Thailand today for the Singha Thailand Amateur Open are Aidric Chan, Shinichi Suzuki, Perry Bucay, Bobe Salahog, Ally Gaccion and Anya Cedo as the six official Philippine representatives in the tourney that will be held at the Panya Indra Golf Club starting Tuesday.
Accompanying the contingent is national coach Boyet Zaragosa.
Chan is fresh from winning the Elite Men's Division of the MVPSF Valley Open at the Valley Golf and Country Club where he beat Suzuki by three strokes.
The Pueblo de Oro-based Gaccion is taking a crack at another international title months after becoming just the second Filipino to win her age-group at the prestigious Faldo Series Asia Grand Final in Vietnam.
"The NGAP is committed to provide our top amateur standouts the international exposure they need to keep them competitive against the rest of the region. We will make our presence felt in the major events in Asia, and possibly the world," said Bones Floro, secretary general of the NGAP.
This year, the NGAP was able to stage the Nomura Cup and collaborated with the Women's Golf Association of the Philippines for the holding of the Queen Sirikit at Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club as well as the 2023 Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) Junior Championships at the Orchard Golf & Country Club.
The return of the Philippine Open, Asia's oldest national open for pros, is also in the works.
Chan, a former Junior World age-group champion, is completing his national team tour of duty as he has already signified his intention to turn pro next year. He has so far suited up for the national team at least eight times.
Also later this month, the NGAP will be sending Rianne Malixi, Grace Quintanilla and Junia Gabasa to Dubai for the World Women's Amateur Team Championship.

ALEX CEJKA AHEAD BY A STROKE AT SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD

Alex Cejka of Germany ascended to the top of the leaderboard at The Senior Open Championship despite carding a 3-over-par 74 on Saturday at Bridgend, Wales.
Cejka birdied his final hole during gusting winds to reside at even-par 213 at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. He is seeking his third career major on the Champions Tour after emerging victorious at the 2021 Regions Tradition and 2021 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.
Cejka holds a one-stroke lead over the quartet of Phillip Archer (71 on Saturday) of England, two-time Open Championship winner Padraig Harrington (71) of Ireland, former World No. 1 Vijay Singh (73) of Fiji and second-round leader Steven Alker (76) of New Zealand.
"I had three, four, five loose shots that cost me a bogey and that's bugging you," Cejka said. "It's not the wind or anything. You want to do a certain shot and you just don't pull it off and you end up in a really bad lie and it's tough to make an up-and-down. That was a bit frustrating. The wind? Everybody had to deal with it."
Nobody broke par on Saturday, marking the first round in which that has happened on either the PGA Tour or Champions Tour since the 2008 Open Championship. Harrington won that event.
Singh, who capped his round with a birdie on the 18th hole, is seeking his sixth career victory on the Champions Tour and second major. He won the 2018 Kaulig Companies Championship.
"This was hard," Singh said. "A links course is fine, but with winds like this, we don't normally play in winds like this, especially me. I haven't played in conditions like this for a long, long time. But was manageable. You had to control your ball. It wasn't easy. Putting was really difficult."
Alker, who had a hole-in-one on the par-3 15th hole, is chasing his second major victory in the over-50 ranks. He won the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship in 2022.
Jerry Kelly (71) and Greig Hutcheon (75) of Scotland are tied for sixth place at 2-over. Hutcheon plays on Europe's Legends Tour.
"I think for anybody, any major is special," Cejka said. "Winning two a couple of years ago, it was great. But we are here in Europe. I'd like to win in Europe too. That would be special."
Defending Senior Open champion Darren Clarke shot a 78 on Saturday and is in a tie for 32nd place at 7-over.
First-round leader Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain followed up a 76 on Friday with an 83 on Saturday to slip to 12-over for the tournament.
The tournament is the last of five majors on the senior schedule. The winner gets into The Open next year at Royal Troon.
