[Title] => Top pros start hunt for P1.1M champ’s pot
[Summary] => How the pros tuned up for the first big tournament in the golf calendar this year will be known today when the country’s top shotmakers begin their quest for fame and fortune in the P3.8 million The Country Club Invitational at The Country Club layout in Canlubang.
And there couldn’t be a better way to start their hunt for the richest purse ever staked (P1.1 million) in pro golf outside of the Philippine Open than a fine start, making the opener of the four-day championship, already a major in terms of prize money and participation, truly a round to watch.

[Title] => Lascuna eyes repeat in Country Club invitational
[Summary] => Tony Lascuna hopes to duplicate his feat last year and become the first player to win it back-to-back in The Country Club Invitational which fires off March 17 at the challenging par-70 The Country Club layout in Canlubang.
"Pipilitin natin makaulit," said Lascuna who had the luxury of familiarizing himself with the short but tough layout, one of the perks he won when he beat Angelo Que in a thrilling final round duel for the crown last year.

[Title] => Pucay, Ababa master tough greens to lead
[Summary] => BACOLOD — Mars Pucay holed a 16-foot birdie on the 18th — a big putt he compared to a buzzer-beating triple in basketball — to salvage a one-under-par 69 yesterday and tie Cesar Ababa for the lead in the First Gentleman’s Professional Golf Circuit here.
As the tough greens made even short putts for par very hard to read, former National PGA champ Ababa made a couple of 10-footers for birdie on Nos. 15-16 to match Pucay’s score for the second straight day and join him at 141, one over par at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club.

The back pains that hounded him in the second round gone, Sinfuego was healthy enough to shoot it out all day with Pucay, carding an eagle and three birdies in the last eight holes to turn a two-stroke deficit into the same one-shot advantage he held overnight.
