Que eyes three-peat

ANGELO Que tries for a rare three-peat as he takes on the rest of the field in the The Country Club Invitational, which kicks off Thursday at the TCC course in Laguna.

Que posted a one-shot victory over Marvin Dumandan last year, finished joint ninth in the Avantha Masters in India a month later then ruled the Mt. Malarayat leg of the ICTSI-Philippine Golf Tour in April.

But the former Philippine Open champion failed to sustain his fine start. He finished a joint 16th at the Macau Open while missing the cut five times on the Asian Tour.

He also had forgettable finishes in the three other legs on the ICTSI-PGT, even missing the cut in the final leg at Wack Wack.

But he vows to turn things around this year, starting with the TCC Invitational that features a select cast of 36 players from last year’s ICTSI-PGT Order of Merit ranking.

Out to foil Que’s record bid are reigning OOM champion Juvic Pagunsan, also a two-time winner of the TCC Invitational, and former champions Cassius Casas, Tony Lascuna, Jerome Delariarte and Artemio Murakami./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
