81 golfers in ICTSI Wack Wack

THE COMPETITION is expected to be fierce between the 81 players that have listed up for the ICTSI Wack Wack Classic, which kicks off tomorrow at the fabled east course in San Juan City.

With its tricky, narrow layout made more exacting by its longer yardage and sleek putting surface, the par-72 course is expected to bring out the best – or the worst – from the star-studded field chasing the top purse of P450,000 in the final leg of this year’s circuit.

Jay Bayron, the reigning ICTSI PGT Order of Merit champion, returns to the scene of his near Philippine Open win, hoping to redisplay the form that netted him a runner-up finish in the country’s premier golfing event last May.

But he will be up against a field that includes the best Angelo Que, Frankie Minoza, Jhonnel Ababa, Artemio Murakami, Elmer Salvador, Tony Lascuna, Mars Pucay, Gerald Rosales, Mhark Fernando and teener Miguel Tabuena./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
