    NOW it’s daddy’s turn.

    Jeff Chan made sure to personally cheer for her daughter Aerin as she competes for Team Philippines in the 9-10 girls category of the 2023 IMG Junior World Championships in San Diego, California.

    Chan and family including wife Donna and elder daughter Amara made the trip to San Diego, California to support the youngest member of the family as she tries to conquer the famed Torrey Pines course.

    In a way, it was the elder Chan’s means of giving back to the all-out support Aerin and the rest of the family had shown him during the time he and Gilas Pilipinas were campaigning in the FIBA World Cup almost a decade ago.

    The Far Eastern University alum was part of the national team that made it back to the World Cup in 2014 in Seville, Spain after a 36-year absence.

    “Parang baliktad lang. Dati kasi nung World Cup ko, support sila,” he said. “Now naman World Cup ng junior golf ako naman ang support sa kanila.”

      Chan, who has taken up golf himself, has been serving as a personal caddie of Aerin, who also saw action in last year’s edition of the tournament.

      Unfortunately, the Northport veteran gunner wasn’t around to watch her daughter back then as only Donna and his father in-law Juanito Pontiveros were there to witness Aerin's international debut.

      “It’s something that I will really cherish.”
