CAGAYAN DE ORO-Three months ago, Necias Casas called son Cassius from Davao, telling him, among others, to continue to strive.
On Friday, the old man spent P400 for a five-hour bus ride to Bukidnon to find out if Cassius had heeded his advice.
Despite being under siege all round long, Cassius did not disappoint his father, carving out a 6-under-par 66 in spectacular style at the long Pueblo de Oro course yesterday to run away with the Strong Republic Nautical Highway Super Golf Tour title.
Cassius engaged Antonio Lascu[currency]a and Benjie Magada in a thrilling final-round shoot-out and then snuffed out the challenge with an eagle on No. 17 for a four-shot win worth P500,000.
Necias, who retired from pro golf without ever tasting a win, willed his 70-year-old legs to walk the final 36 holes of the event to watch his son, starting with the Del Monte leg in Bukidnon on Friday where Cassius shot a 69 to take a two-stroke lead into yesterday's round.
