Sweet-swinging Juvic broke through with a stylish victory at the Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational in 2007. He produced a grandstand finish with a birdie, eagle to pip India’s Ghaganjeet Bhullar to the title and fulfill his promise as one of Asia’s rising stars. It was an emotional triumph for the Filipino as he endured a frustrating front half of the year with poor form due to a shoulder injury. Juvic also came close to a second title at the season-ending Volvo Masters of Asia, leading on the back nine on Sunday but bogeyed the demanding 18th hole at Thai Country Club to lose by one shot to Prayad Marksaeng. He maintained his momentum in 2008, nailing three top-10 finishes that included a runner-up result at the Singha Thailand PGA Championship. He challenged Mo Joong-kyung of Korea all the way on the back nine on Sunday before settling for second place and was top-10 in the Bangkok Airways Open and Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open. In 2009, Juvic finished tied third in the Asian Tour International in Bangkok and finished top-10 at the Singha Thailand Open, Brunei Open and Iskandar Johor Open. Also finished tied 14th in the Barclays Singapore Open. After winning numerous amateur titles and clinching two gold medals in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in Manila, Juvic joined the professional ranks and made an immediate impact. He successfully negotiated Qualifying School to earn his Tour card by placing 14th and continued to raise eyebrows when he won a domestic Philippine event, The Country Club Invitational title in February when he defeated Filipino legend Frankie Minoza in a play-off. He went on to post top-10 finishes at the Philippine Open, Brunei Open and Volkswagen Masters-China before producing an eye-catching performance at the UBS Hong Kong Open where he challenged Jose Manuel Lara all the way to the title before settling for second place. Finished seventh on the Order of Merit and was named Rookie of the Year. In 2004, Juvic came close to winning the Philippine Open when he was still an amateur. He entered the final day as the co-leader but settled for the runner-up place, three shots behind Edward Michaels.
