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.
