Finally a winner on tour, Chanelle Avaricio hopes to ride the momentum of a previous victory and make it a back-to-back in the ICTSI Riviera Ladies Championship that tees off on Wednesday in Silang, Cavite.
Avaricio ended a two-year title hunt that included a couple of runner-up finishes this year, routing the ICTSI Riviera Ladies Challenge field by seven behind an early birdie and eagle feat in the final round.
She rallied from two down to post one of the most lopsided victories on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour the last eight years.
Admitting her seven-shot victory over Harmie Constantino and Chihiro Ikeda last Friday exceeded her expectations, Avaricio hopes to build on her romp as she tries to complete a sweep of the Riviera swing of the ICTSI-sponsored circuit on a tougher, exacting course.
“Hope to score more wins,” said the Alabama State U product.
Constantino and Ikeda will again lead her challengers, along with Sunshine Baraquiel, Marvi Monsalve and Daniella Uy.
