Jobim eyes back-to-back
Jobim Carlos, brimming with confidence after winning at Apo last week, expects a tougher, fiercer challenge from a stellar international field in the ICTSI Del Monte Championship reeling off Wednesday at Manolo Fortich in Bukidnon.
Carlos said he’s putting premium on driving and putting at the tight, hazard-laden Del Monte course like Apo but a bit easier by the pros’ standards, guaranteeing low scoring right in the first 18 holes of the
P3-million tournament.
“The level of competition is high since there are many good, solid players, including the homegrown bets,” said Carlos, who beat Elmer Salvador and Albin Engino by four at Apo. “Del Monte is a bit easier than Apo so I expect low scoring through all four days.”
Two of Carlos’ rivals, Jay Bayron and Tony Lascuña, also stressed the need for their putting to deliver to earn a crack at the 72-hole championship organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
