BAGUIO, Philippines — The Junior Philippine Golf Tour (JPGT) Luzon Series resumes at the Pinewoods Golf and Country Club here tomorrow, promising an exciting showdown in all categories of the three-division circuit.
Georgina Handog is looking to repeat her victory while Maurysse Abalos seeks payback, setting the stage for an interesting rematch in the girls’ 8-10 age division. The series, showcasing some of the country’s most promising young golfers, also features the 11-14 and 15-18 boys’ and girls categories spread over 54 and 72 holes, respectively.
Handog missed the kickoff leg at Splendido Taal, which Abalos won, but bounced back to triumph in the second stage at Pradera Verde. This sets up a highly anticipated face-off between the two in the 36-hole tournament organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
Adding to the excitement, seven other competitors have been honing their skills during the break, including Amiya Tablac, Filumena Tambunting, Casedy Cuenca, Penelope Sy, Lily Agamata, Athalea Espedido, and Maria Brianna Macasaet.
The scenic par-72 Pinewoods course, with its breathtaking views of the Cordillera mountain range and pine-scented breeze, offers a unique challenge.
