                    [Summary] => The Philippines’ Cassius Casas made a breakthrough of sort in the United States Open when he earned the first alternate berth in the championship slated June 13-16 in the Bethpage State Park Black’s Course in New York.


Casas, who had been struggling with poor form of late, pieced together rounds of 68-72-140 to come in joint fourth in the two-day qualifying phase in the tough Lake Merced Golf and Country Club in Daly City.

Cuello, who finished joint ninth in last week’s Philippine Open won by compatriot Gerald Rosales, carded nines of 33-33 to tie local star Thongchai Jaidee and Daisuke Maruyama of Japan for a one-shot lead over Chawalit Plaphol of Thailand, Des Terblanche of South Africa and Yeh Wei-Tze of Taiwan.

Cassius Casas bagged his first-ever major championship in eight years when he won the Philippine Masters yesterday as rival Robert Pactolerin three-putted the first playoff hole in a dramatic duel that nearly failed to unfold at Villamor.

Casas nearly blew a three-shot lead in the last nine holes, missed winning it outright with a flubbed seven-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole but pounced on Pactolerin's meltdown under tremendous pressure of a sudden death with a routine par to clinch the victory he had been chasing all these years.

For Robert Pactolerin, there is never a charge too early, only a chase too late by his pursuers.

Pactolerin seized control as first day leader Aaron Meeks succumbed to the demanding conditions at Villamor, his even-par 72 proved enough to put him on a very familiar place at a very familiar course halfway through the 14th Philippine Masters yesterday.
