MANILA, Philippines --Two-time champion Crystal Shin joins the hunt for top honors in the Southern Ladies golf tournament which fires off Thursday at the Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club in Cagayan de Oro City.

Shin, who used to play for Del Monte, will suit up for Pueblo de Oro this time in the team competition of the three-day event, a four-to-play, three-to-count format tournament slated in the first two days along with the seniors tournament.

The Korean shotmaker is raring to slug it out with the crack members of the ICTSI team, led by defending champion Anya Tanpinco, reigning RP Ladies Open winner Louise Manalo and Chihiro Ikeda.
