Aidric Chan, a former Junior World champion, has embarked on a journey from Cagayan de Oro to Davao to participate in the Philippine Golf Tour Qualifying School, taking place at the South Pacific Golf and Leisure Estates. The competition, which began today, features 107 contenders, including 34 international hopefuls, all vying for 30 slots in the 72-hole eliminations.

Chan, known for his past victories such as the boys’ centerpiece division in the Junior World in San Diego in 2019, is no stranger to success.
