Crowded chase seen at Eagle Ridge

MANILA, Philippines — Princess Superal is ready for a repeat, Chanelle Avaricio is primed for a strong finish while Harmie Constantino is all geared up for a big rebound, setting off a spirited chase for the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Ladies Classic crown beginning today in Gen. Trias, Cavite.

Superal hit a clutch birdie to thwart Avaricio’s stab at a first Ladies Philippine Golf Tour crown at Sherwood Hills last week, and the multi-titled campaigner has kept herself in top form during the short break in pursuit of another title at Eagle Ridge’s Norman course.

“Since we’re still under quarantine, I stayed in shape by training at home with a net and putting mat,” said Superal, who also won the first of two Riviera bubble tournaments late last year and finished second in two other LPGT events.

Chihiro Ikeda, Gretchen Villacencio, Daniella Uy, Sunshine Baraquiel and Marvi Monsalve are also expected to contend for the crown in the 54-hole championship.
