Del Monte aces spice up Binitin leg

On: By: admin


Three crack players from Manolo Fortich in Bukidnon will be carrying the fight for the Mindanao region when the second leg of the ICTSI Junior PGT gets off the ground on Monday at Bacolod Golf and Country Club in Binitin, Murcia.

Developing their games at tough Del Monte, Keith Pagalan, Simon Wahing and Coby Langamin will all be playing in the boys’ premier 16-18 division as they shoot for high finishes to qualify for the national match play championship scheduled later in the year at The Country Club in Laguna.

Winners from four age divisions (boys and girls) are all part of the Bacolod roster, vying not just for consecutive victories but also for ranking points for the finals after the 14-leg nationwide circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

Bacolod’s John Rey Oro and Iloilo’s Rhiena Sinfuego aim for back-to-back wins in the boys’ and girls’ 16-18 class, respectively. Both divisions will be over 72 holes.

The spotlight, however, will be on Pagalan and his teammates from Manolo Fortich High School in Bukidnon as they also prepare for the Mindanao Series starting next month.

Gonzales hot Binitin favorite

On: By: admin


Cailey Chanelle Gonzales, who dominated the girls’ 10-12 division in Iloilo, will come into the next Junior PGT Iloilo Visayas Series leg in Binitin in Iloilo next week as the player to beat.

After shooting a 36-hole, nine-over 149 total at Sta. Barbara to win by 17 shots, Gonzales is now training her sights on winning the Bacolod stop before she flies out with the Philippine delegation that will see action in the Junior Worlds in San Diego in the United States.

She is not making it a secret that she wants to win an international title, playing well at the tree-lined Binitin layout in Murcia town will definitely send her off well.

“My immediate dream is to win an international competition,” said Gonzales, an incoming Grade 6 student at De La Salle-Zobel.

The Binitin leg will be held June 24-27 before she skips the Marapara stop to fly to the US.

Meanwhile, John Rey Oro used a hot back nine to close out with a level par 70 on Thursday and destroy twin brother John Paul with a six-shot win in the premier 16-18 boys division at Iloilo Golf Club.

Ahead by just two shots entering their final nine holes, John Rey had three birdies in a three-hole span from the 10th, capped by a chip-in on the challenging par-3 13th that all but settled the outcome as he tallied a 72-hole 296.
