Team North wrests control in four-ball

Team North took the first two matches then went on to post a 3 1/2-2 1/2 lead over South in four-ball at the start of The Duel – North vs South – at the Camp John Hay Golf Club in Baguio today.

Miguel Tabuena and Randy Garalde bucked windy, chilly condition to turn back Tony Lascuña and Orlan Sumcad, 2&1, while rookie Ira Alido complemented well with veteran Mars Pucay to clobber the Bayron brothers— Jay and Rufino—5&4—as the Northerners took early control of the better-ball format event of country’s version of the Ryder Cup sponsored by ICTSI.
