Mad scramble up as LPGT unfolds




DAVAO, Philippines, March 12 ------ The new Ladies Philippine Golf Tour season unfolds today here with a scramble of a start and a wild finish seen in the P1 million ICTSI Apo Golf Classic at the Apo Golf and Country Club here.


The 21-player field braces for fierce competition not only for top honors but also for the distinction of becoming the first Apo leg winner. The quaint championship layout hosts an LPGT leg for the first time since 2013, following last year’s tournaments at Del Monte Golf Club in Bukidnon and South Pacific Golf in Catalunan Pequeno, also in Davao.


With notable players like Daniella Uy and Florence Bisera, last year’s winners at Del Monte and South Pacific, respectively, marked for attention, the next three days promise intense action. Top contenders, including Harmie Constantino and Chihiro Ikeda, are also poised to engage in a spirited duel of shotmaking and course management on the tight, challenging layout.


But the title chase is not just a showcase of skill but also a test of nerves, strategy and determination, especially if the competition heads to a nail-biting finish. Multi-titled Chanelle Avaricio, meanwhile, adds to the competitive field, eager to display the improvements gained from playing on the Epson Tour last year. Mikha Fortuna, on the other hand, aims to open the season strong, seeking to replicate her emphatic victory in last year’s Match Play Invitational at The Country Club.
