Lascuña headlines Orchard cast

Momentum will be on Tony Lascuña’s side when the ICTSI Orchard Golf Championship blasts off Wednesday at Orchard’s Player course in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

Lascuña, the reigning Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit king, topped Monday’s pro-am event of the $60,000 ICTSI Orchard with amateur partners John Laurel, Juanchit Jose and Siegfried Ramos.

The foursome posted a 17-under 55 to nip Rufino Bayron, Arnel Paras, Paul Griba and David Astejada, who pooled a 56.

“This is a big morale boost but I still have to play quality golf in the next four days,” said Lascuña —ROY LUARCA
