Global stars, top Pinoy bets duke it out for lion's share of $2-M purse
Miguel Tabuena and Angelo Que spearhead a promising local cast as they go up against some of the world's best golfers when the International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus fires off on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Sta. Elena Golf Club in Laguna.
Tabuena, a three-time Asian Tour champion, tees off at 11:40 a.m. in a stellar flight that has big-time players, former world No. 1 Dustin Johnson and 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.
Familiarity with the course could be an advantage for Tabuena - having grown up playing at Sta. Elena but the 31-year-old admitted it only plays a small role.
"I guess course knowledge isn't such a big factor this week, but I'm gonna give it my best shot to have that Philippine flag on top of the leaderboard," Tabuena said.
