The Tan Holdings Open 2014 Badminton Tournament kicked off last weekend with matches in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s doubles, and mixed doubles played at the TSL Sports Complex.<\/p>\n

This is the third edition of the annual badminton tournament with more than 40 pairs slugging it out for the division titles at stake.<\/p>\n

Su and Samonte-Bocago downed the tandem of Jeff Riman and Cheng Zingapan, 20-21, 21-19, 21-20, a fitting follow-up to their 21-11, 21-18 demolition of Jorge Olanda and Marylyn Montano.<\/p>\n
