CARMONA, Cavite — Aguri Iwasaki returned to the country for the first time in five years, and after two days of official practice rounds for the $500,000 Smart Infinity Open, the Japanese who has very strong ties with host club Manila Southwoods finds everything to still be in place.
“Nothing [has] changed. [It’s still] very difficult,” Iwasaki said, referring to the design of the teachers who will challenge some of the most productive on the Asian field trip starting Thursday, Jan. 23. “[It was] five years. [The course] is lovely [but] very tough, especially if [it’s windy. “
Iwasaki can be a genuine bet at home, since it has represented Southwoods on many team hits such as the FIL-AM and the Airlines of the Philippines Interclusten with other Japanese, Yuto Katsuragawa, which is now a star of the global excursion of DP Dpary DP
“Three,” said Iaki, raising so many hands when he asked how many team titles helped Southwoods win at the Interclub. “After that, [I became a professional. But [it’s a lot] my house. [I have many friends here. “
The winner of the Japan Open of the lucrative Japan Tour in 2023, Iwasaki also returns as a bonafide star in the region. Yet, he still refuses to put a number on what it would take to win the revival of Asia’s oldest national championship.
“Par-70, [it will be] very hard,” he said as he played the well-manicured course two strokes less than he is used to for the first time on Monday. “Especially if winds come.”
Another Southwoods product in Angelo Que, the 2008 champion, said that local knowledge will definitely come into play starting Thursday, especially if the elements become demanding.
“The good thing going for us is that we (those familiar with the course) know where to miss,” he said. “It will take a long time to acquire that, while we have innate knowledge of that. Two practice rounds won’t give you that.”
The organization of the National Association of Golf of the Philippines, Martin Lorenzo, almost said that the tournament goes, starting with the PRO-AM, where more than one hundred groups of four men will play on Wednesday.
“Good luck to all the players,” Lorenzo said. “To our Filipino players, play with passion and make our country proud. May this historic tournament bring out your best. Mabuhay.”
