Filipino-Japanese golfer Yuka Saso will skip the coming 29th Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, another downer for the Philippine bid to reach its target of 50 gold medals. Tom Carrasco, the Philippine Olympic Committee’s pointman in the athlete selection process for the Games, said the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) informed the task force on the exclusion of the World Junior Girls champion. “I was told by the NGAP that she has other commitments during the SEA Games. She was already removed from the delegation,” said Carrasco. Junia Louise Quintanilla Gabasa replaced Saso, who also won the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Ladies Invitational last year. —JUNE NAVARRO
