Mondilla upbeat but wary of TCC Invit’l bid

Clyde Mondilla has spent the last three weeks enhancing his driving and short game in preparation for what promises to be a slam-bang duel of power and iron play in The Country Club Invitational firing off on March 4 at the TCC course in Laguna.

The Del Monte star actually kicked off the new season with a stirring victory in the Philippine Golf Tour Asia at Pradera Verde last month, rallying from five down in regulation and coming out triumphant of the most crowded playoff battle (five) in PGT and PGTA history. But heading to the P5 million event, he said he would need more than momentum given an elite roster of rivals and a dreaded course.
