JPGT national finals tee off Tuesday

MANILA, Philippines — Levonne Talion and Patrick Tambalque hope to ride the momentum of their respective flourishing elims campaign and push forward in pursuit of the coveted championship in the national finals of the ICTSI Junior PGT Series set Tuesday at The Country Club in Laguna.

The duo emerged on top of the 13-14 age group after the grueling five-round elims phase of the pioneering, course-hopping series that features the drive, chip and putt (DCP) challenge and 18-hole tournaments aimed at enhancing the youngsters’ talent and skills and at the same time developing their confidence.

The top five players in each age division in both the boys’ and girls’ classes, including 9-10, 11-12 and 15-18, advanced to the national finals based on their top three best scores. The finals will be played under the 18-hole tournament using the Molave scoring system, according to the organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
