Que to focus on Japan, Asian Tours

- – Dante Navarro

Angelo Que won’t go any further when he resumes his campaign in 2019, focusing on the Japan PGA Tour where he hopes to flourish after scoring a breakthrou­gh victory in the Top Cup Tokai Classic last September in Aichi.

Vying on the Asian Tour, particular­ly the premier tournament­s, is also among his priorities although he said he would slow down in competitiv­e play owing to the rigors of shuttling to and from various countries and courses in pursuit of golfing glories.

“I’m not getting any younger so I’ll be planning diligently my schedule to play in Japan and Asia and making sure that I don’t play too much,” said the Asian Tour’s “Human Highlighte­r,” a moniker he earned for his bright and colorful golfing attire.

But he stressed he’d still be competing on the local circuit, which he credited for his success, not just to vie for honors but to provide inspiratio­n and motivation for the young Filipino shotmakers hoping to also make it big on the internatio­nal stage someday.

“Personally, the ICTSI tour has given me the opportunit­y to compete abroad and on a different level,” said the powerhitti­ng Que, who considers his Philippine Open triumph at Wack Wack in 2008 as most memorable from among his vast trophy collection.

“Winning your National Open again and again is special,” he said.
