Fierce battles ahead at JPGT South Pacific

(UPDATE) A FIERCER, more competitive chase for top honors and ranking points across four age categories looms in the ICTSI Junior PGT Mindanao Series when Leg 2 of the regional tour gets under way on Tuesday at the South Pacific Golf and Leisure Estates.

Commanding victories defined the kickoff leg of the four-stage series last week, with five of the seven age titles decided by an average winning margin of 17.6 strokes. However, two categories saw thrilling finishes as Brittany Tamayo edged out Kimberly Barroquillo in a sudden-death playoff in the girls' 10-12 division, and Eliana Mendoza narrowly defeated Mavis Espedido by one stroke in the girls' 8-9 category.
