Angelo Que, Miguel Tabuena open rich Maybank bid

MANILA, Philippines — After missing the cut last year, Angelo Que and Miguel Tabuena seek not only to make it to the weekend play but also contend for the championship in the Maybank Championship which gets under way today at the Saujana Golf and Country Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A crack 156-player field, which features the leading campaigners on the European Tour, braces for a grueling, punishing duel in the $3 million event with the Asian Tour mainstays, particularly the Malaysians, hoping to cash in on local knowledge of the course and hot weather conditions.
