TCC to offer true test of golf

The 99th Solaire Philippine Open unwraps on Thursday, and many believe there is no tougher course to host country’s premier championship – and Asia’s oldest National Open – than The Country Club whose length and wind factor put stern options on shotmaking, precision and mental toughness.

Days leading to the $400,000 event, sponsored by Solaire Resort and Casino and held in cooperation with Meralco and PLDT, the wind had been blowing in various directions with the organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. expecting the condition to get more challenging and daunting during the Open weekend.
