CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines — Cliff Nuñeza and Ally Gaccion are primed for their next challenge as the ICTSI Junior PGT Mindanao Series resumes today at the Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club here.
Both players are bracing for intense competition as they aim to secure top honors in their respective divisions while earning crucial ranking points to boost their bids for the upcoming Match Play Championship.
The final leg of the four-stage regional series sees Nuñeza and Gaccion striving to replicate their contrasting victories from last week’s Del Monte tournament.
“Focus on the range and improve my putting,” Nuñeza said, outlining his strategy for the Pueblo de Oro showdown. He narrowly edged out Bacolod’s John Rey Oro in the boys’ 16-18 division and is aware of the challenges posed by the par-72 course, known for its winding fairways bordered by deep ravines.
Nuñeza remains cautious, particularly of Oro, who ruled the Visayas Series I in Iloilo, placed third in Bacolod and Negros Occidental, and finished second last week.
