The tournament, which is CFIC’s annual member-guest event, required teams to be composed of one member and three guests.
Almario’s team fired a total of 239 points in the four-to-play, three-to-count format. He was backed by three women for the winning run. His teammates were Cheche Darnall, Virgie Hwang, and Choi Yi Hwa.

Nobody won the Php 1 million, which was put on the line as hole-in-one prize on all par-3s by Monterazzas.
