Junior PGT starts Visayas swing in IloiloYoung golfers from Iloilo City and surrounding areas get the Visayas swing of the Junior Philippine Golf Tour (JPGT) Series I going Monday at the age-old layout formerly known as Sta. Barbara in Iloilo.

Tiffany Bernardino looms as the hometown bet with the biggest chance as she campaigns in the 13-15 girls’ division even as championship trophies in the 8-9, 10-12, and 16-18 for boys and girls will be contested throughout the week at the course now known as Iloilo Golf Club.

Players earn points based on their performance in each tournament, with no limit on the number of events they can enter in a series. However, players in the Visayas and Mindanao swings will have only their two best results counting toward the final rankings for the 72 spots in the JPGT Match Play Championships at The Country Club in Laguna in October.

“I am excited to play at Iloilo’s historic golf course. My focus will be hitting the fairways and greens. I need to trust my game and play as best as I can. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure how to conquer the long fairways,” said the 13-year-old Bernardino.

Those playing in the Luzon will have four of their best tournaments counting for the final match play rankings.
