Can, Lascuña lead talented field vying for top Apo prize

Tarik Can hopes to bring his winning act to the hotbed of talent of Philippine golf when the power-hitting American leads a compact foreign field seeing action in the ICTSI Apo Golf Challenge teeing off Wednesday in Davao.

Can edged Thai Nirun Sae-Ueng in sudden death to snare the Aboitiz Invitational crown at Wack Wack last month, making the former Augusta State mainstay one of the players to beat in the P2.5 million event.

Antonio Lascuña, who won last Sunday in Taiwan, will take sharp form to the tournament aside from innate knowledge of the tree-lined layout.
