Battle for top spots heats up in JPGT

THE ICTSI Junior PGT Luzon series resumes with its fourth leg at the Riviera Golf and Country Club's Couples course on Tuesday with competition in four age categories promising to be fierce and intense as players vie for stage honors and bolster their bids for slots in the Philippine Junior Match Play Championship.

Vito Sarines, winner of the Splendido Taal and Pradera Verde stops of the seven-leg Luzon series, is eyeing another victory in the boys' 10-12 age bracket. He, however, braces for a stiff challenge from Jacob Casuga, Prince Sales, Xavier Palacios and Ezekiel Opinion, among others.
