PLAYING on a familiar course can often add pressure to a golfer, as the expectation of home-field advantage looms large. Ralph Batican , however, shattered this notion by mastering the Del Monte layout as if he had designed it himself.In an impressive display of skill, Batican fired a bogey-free seven-under 65 in hot conditions in the first round of the ICTSI Junior PGT Mindanao Series 3 here on Tuesday.
He gained another stroke on the 15th and concluded with a birdie on the par-5 18th hole, cheered on by a large gallery surrounding the green.'It was good, and luckily I didn't make a single bogey in two days,' said the 12-year-old prodigy from Libona, who recently won the South Pacific leg via sudden death over Jared Saban.Despite the challenges posed by the tight, tree-lined layout and unpredictable greens, the Lifehouse Montessori Academy student approached the game conservatively.
