Pagunsan suspended by PGT Inc.

JUVIV PAGUNSAN has found himself suspended by the Philippine Golf Tournaments, Inc., organizer of the ICTSI-Philippine Golf Tour, from participating for the remaining legs of the circuit this year for breach of the PGT guidelines on professional conduct.

Pagunsan walked out of the recent Aboitiz Invitational presented by ICTSI in Cebu after refusing to abide by the club’s house rules.

He had previously escaped sanction after pulling out of the ICTSI-Forest Hills Invitational in the middle of his round without informing the PGTI last year.

This time, the PGTI has had enough and threw the book at the talented but recalcitrant shotmaker.

Jay Bayron is expected to gain on Pagunsan’s suspension as he moved up to second in the OOM race after topping the recent $65,000 million Aboitiz Invitational presented by ICTSI, the first Philippine event to be featured on the Asian Development Tour./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
