(UPDATE) LOCAL talents shone brightly in the 13-15 age category as AJ Wacan and Johanna Uyking ruled their divisions with 72 and 82, respectively, in the ICTSI Junior PGT Mindanao Series 2 at the South Pacific Golf and Leisure Estates in Davao.

Wacan staged a remarkable comeback, overturning a five-stroke deficit to defeat Alexis Nailga in the boys' class with a scorching three-under par after 11 holes. He secured victory with a clutch chip-in birdie on No. 16, checking a late skid to edge Nailga by two strokes with a 33-39, totaling 238.
