Reymon Jaraula hopes to cash in on his familiarity with the Del Monte layout in pursuit of a second straight PGT diadem.
Bristling with confidence coming off a breakthrough win – in playoff fashion – over one of the country’s winningest players, Jaraula hopes to hoist another trophy on Saturday although he remains wary of his chances against practically the same field he had bested at Pueblo de Oro.

Reymon Jaraula hopes to cash in on his familiarity with the Del Monte layout in pursuit of a second straight PGT diadem.
He added that a 14-under total at the mountaintop course could net one the crown in the P2.5 million championship serving as the seventh leg of the 10th season of the ICTSI-sponsored Philippine Golf Tour and second of four tournaments making up the Mindanao swing.

Coming off a sorry playoff setback, Tony Lascuna aims to emerge on top at Del Monte this week
Lascuña, for one, is going all-out to nail the win that has eluded him the last two years, his runner-up effort at Pueblo could hit at a successful campaign this week following a number of top five finishes and a couple of third place efforts in his last few events in the circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

Jay Bayron can’t wait to get going for redemption
Upstaged by local top guns at Pueblo with only Thai Kammalas Namuangruk breaking into the Top 10, the foreign contingent toughened up for another crack at the crown won by American Nicolas Paez with Tawan Phongpun and Pachara Sakulyong joining Namuangruk in the roster along with Peter Stojanovski of Macedonia, South African Luke Trocada, American Sean Talmadge, Park Jun Sung of Korea and Dutch Guido Van der Valk, winner of this year’s PGT kickoff leg in Cebu.
