Superal, Del Rosario seek HK Open plum
PRINCESS Superal hopes to continue her winning ways as she spearheads The Country Club’s bid in the Hong Kong Ladies Open Amateur starting Wednesday at Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling.
Superal snapped a three-month title spell by closing out 2015 with twin victories in Malaysia and one each in Singapore and Jakarta.
The 19-year-old former US Girls’ Junior champion is upbeat of her chances in the 54-hole championship, seeking to reclaim the crown won by LPGA-bound Cyna Rodriguez in 2012.
She will start at 7:48 a.m. in the company of local aces Tiffany Chan and Ying Yung Lai after TCC teammate Sam Martirez opens her bid against Yik Ching Tam and Mimi Ho at 7:39 a.m.
Pauline del Rosario completes the crack TCC squad.
The HK Open also serves as tune-up for the Filipinos’ campaign in the Philippine Ladies Open on Jan. 20 to 22 in Tagaytay.
