ICTSI Bacolod Challenge on

MURCIA, Negros Occidental, Philippines — A thrilling battle for supremacy unfolds as the Philippine Golf Tour resumes today with the ICTSI Bacolod Golf Challenge at the Bacolod Golf and Country Club here.

Stretching just over 6,000 yards, the par-70 layout may favor the Tour’s long hitters in the chase for the P450,000 top prize, with course management likely to prove pivotal.

Zanieboy Gialon enters the P2.5 million championship presented by Negros Electric and Power Corp. as the player to beat. Angelo Que is another player to watch.

Meanwhile, the country’s top lady golfers are all geared up for their own battle in the famed Bacolod layout heading to the Match Play Championship at The Country Club in Laguna on tap next month.

Sarah Ababa, Chihiro Ikeda, Mafy Singson, and Mikha Fortuna are expected to slug it out.
