Top Pinoy golfers to compete in Solaire Open

THE COUNTRY will be leaning on its top golfers being spearheaded by Juvic Pagunsan, Miguel Tabuena, Angelo Que and Frankie Minoza as they take on a crack international field in the inaugural Solaire Open next week at Wack Wack.

Tabuena will be heading to this event with much momentum, following his win in the ICTSI-Philippine Golf Tour opening leg, and is pumped-up for the upcoming event set April 11 to 14 at the fabled East layout.

Other local aces expected to contend for the top $54,000 purse in the event serving as the seventh leg of the Asian Tour are Tony Lascuna, the local circuit’s current No. 1, and Jay Bayron, the reigning Order of Merit champion of the Asian Development Tour.

Baek Seuk-hyun of Korea, Arnond Vongvanij of Thailand, Mardan Mamat of Singapore, Tetsuji Hiratsuka of Japan and Rikard Karlberg of Sweden headline the elite cast of international stars in the four-day championship also held as part of the launch of Solaire Resort and Casino. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
