Salvador seeks repeat as Aboitiz Invitational begins

Elmer Salvador sets out as the marked man but a slew of others, including a strong international field, are expected to get into the scoring act right in the first round of the Aboitiz Invitational beginning today in wet conditions at the Cebu Country Club in Cebu City.

Three runner-up finishes in the last three legs of the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour have made Salvador a lot hungrier for title although the reticent Davaoeño shotmaker remains wary of his chances against a crack field out to foil his back-to-back bid in the $65,000 event serving as the eighth leg of the ADT, a feeder circuit to the Asian Tour.
