Zachary Castro and Emilio Hernandez waved the Philippine flag proudly as they emerged victorious in two separate regional junior golf tournaments. Castro won the Boys Class C (11-12 years old) at the 6th Pondok Indah International Junior Golf Championship held last December 19 to 20 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Castro tamed the course with his impeccable iron shots and hot putting as he started the first day with three straight birdies. On the second day, he pulled off three birdies against two bogeys to go one-under par 71 and win by fourteen strokes. “This win will only make me practice more and work harder as I step up in competition in future international events,” said Castro.
