CAVITE, Philippines — Chinese ace Liang Wenchong is back in the country, not only to play in a land where he says he 'is lucky,' but also to reboot a world-class career put on hold for a few years because of business concerns.
CAVITE, Philippines — Chinese ace Liang Wenchong is back in the country, not only to play in a land where he says he 'is lucky,' but also to reboot a world-class career put on hold for a few years because of business concerns. 'This is my restart,' Liang said during the Pro-Am of the $500,000 Smart Infinity Philippine Open on Wednesday where he spearheaded a team made up of Star sports editor Nelson Beltran and spin.ph's Dodo Catacutan and Ding Marcelo.
And now his game will be put on focus as he starts his trek back to the form that once ranked him 57th in the world. 'He hasn't played much but we all know he is very good,' Jazz Janewattananond, the Thai who won the Asian Tour's Order of Merit race a few years back, said of Leong. Of course, the Philippine charge led by Miguel Tabuena, Justin Quiban and Japan Tour regular Justin delos Santos will be worth watching at the start of 72-hole play.
