Chabon places second at Long Beach City Am

Sofia Chabon of the Philippines fired  a one-under 71 and ended up second to Raegan Bremer of Anaheim in the Long Beach City Women’s Amateur Championship at Skylinks Golf Club in California, Friday.

Chabon ran out of holes in her comeback bid, settling for two birdies against one bogey for that 71 and a three-day total of 217 over three different courses, failing to defend the crown won by ICTSI-The Country Club teammate Pauline del Rosario last year.

The field tackled the par-73 El Dorado Golf Club in the first round then action shifted to the par-74 Recreation Park Golf Club. Chabon wavered with a 74 at El Dorado but fought back with a two-under 72 at Recreation.

Bremer shot a 72 in the first day then sizzled with a four-under 70 at Recreation before cruising to victory with a 71 at Skylinks for a 213, four shots ahead of Chabon.

Chabon nipped Kassidy Teare of Vista, California, who matched par 72 at Skylinks, in the countback for runner-up while Jocelyn Chia blew a 67 at Recreation with an awful 78 at Skylinks and tumbled to fourth with a 221.

Other ICTSI-TCC bets struggled with Abby Arevalo scoring a 229 after an 81-76-72, Sam Martirez turning in an 81-74-75-230, Bernice Olivarez-Ilas notching  a 76-79-76-231 and Michaela Fortuna posting an 82-74-76-232.
