Iron duel looms as ICTSI TPC unfolds

Premium will be on accuracy as the men of the tour tackle the short but tight Southlinks layout in what looms to be a battle of iron play in the P3.5 million ICTSI Tournament Players’ Championship, which unwraps today in Las Piñas.

The fancied bets hint at keeping their drivers in their respective bags and make their irons busy through all four days of the championship at the 7,002-yard course, a relatively short layout by the pros’ standards but tipped to bring out the best—or the worst—from the 78-player starting field with its tight fairways and unpredictable putting surface, especially if the wind come into play.
