Her rousing pro debut abruptly halted by the Philippine Ladies Golf Tour suspension due to surge of coronavirus cases in National Capital Region (NCR) Plus, Harmie Constantino gets the chance to resume her drive for another title when the ICTSI Sherwood Ladies Challenge tees Wednesday in Trece Martires, Cavite province.
But the diminutive former national team standout said she is more relieved than thrilled heading to the 54-hole championship, which marks the second restart of the circuit that took another break last March following a long hiatus last year due to the outbreak of the global health crisis.
“Super thankful that tournaments are finally resumed,” said Constantino, who held off multititled Princess Superal to mark her pro debut with a two-stroke victory in the Eagle Ridge Challenge before play was suspended.
Like everybody else, Constantino stayed in game shape during the lull in anticipation of the tour resumption with the organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc. lining up a four-tournament calendar under strict health and safety guidelines enforced by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases and Games and Amusements Board, keeping the country’s touring lady pros busy for the next five weeks.
Superal, meanwhile, will set out to get back at Constantino as she aims to also fine-tune her game for the resumption of her campaign in the Step Up Tour in Japan in October.
