American International Underwriters (AIU) consolidated its overall lead in the Ericsson Corporate Golf League with a net score of 52 and victory during fourth-round play at the Kau Sai Chau public golf course last Thursday.
Playing a Texas Scramble format which involves each player hitting and the best shot being selected, the AIU team carded an eight- under-par 62 on the 5,938-yard South Course.
The victory earned the team 30 points and a 12-point lead over Ernst & Young/MeesPierson in the overall league standings.
The Ernst & Young/MeesPierson foursome, boldly captained by merchant banker Mark Beames, finished second to vault ahead of the media team in the overall standings.
The South China Morning Post was named the most improved team in finishing third.
Rob Chipman, the individual star of the first three legs, continued his strong performance as the Global Silverhawk removal company managing director won his second STAR TV longest drive award in leading AIU to its third victory in four tournaments.
The AIU team also included captain Ross Matthews, president and managing director of AIU, Bruce Howe, actuary and management consultant for ING Financial Services International Asia, and Mike Waitkus, AIU regional vice- president (property).
