THE spotlight shifts to the young golfers of Mindanao as they embark on their journey to clinch top honors and secure spots in the national finals at the ICTSI JPGT Mindanao Series 1, which begins on Tuesday at the Apo Golf and Country Club in Davao.

Jared Saban, fresh from his Junior World campaign in San Diego, is the player to watch in the boys' 10-12 category. He will face competition from local talents like Scionverje Recto, Jay Molde, Paul Braberry, Prince Bisera and Daniel Delona, as well as Mikhail Namocatcat from Bukidnon. Additionally, Saban's fellow South Cotabato players, Marco Senador and Laurence Saban, will also vie for the top spot.
