Aces wary of the wind as Solaire PH Open unwraps

With a crack international field going up against the local aces and a tough layout sporting new-look and challenges expected to be compounded by gale-force wind, the Solaire Philippine Open offers a dash of suspense right in the opening round of the $400,000 event at The Country Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna today.

No less than the two Filipino Open champions and the reigning local Order of Merit champion have predicted a four-day exacting battle against the subtle terrors from the wind-raked Tom Weiskoph-designed layout, which underwent a major renovation to conform to world standard in time for 99th staging of the Asia’s oldest championship.
