CABANATUAN City—Harmie Constantino, known for her come-from-behind victories in her last three tournaments, showcased her flair for a strong start this time, scorching the Lakewood course with a bogey-free six-under 66 to wrest a one-stroke lead over Chihiro Ikeda at the start of the ICTSI Lakewood Championship in Nueva Ecija here yesterday .
“The plan was to stay bogey-free and thank God, I did,” said Constantino, whose remarkable start in the 54-hole championship sets her up for a record title run after winning at Palos Verdes, Caliraya Springs and at the Philippine Masters. Ikeda’s accuracy and consistency off the tee and ball control within 100 yards produced seven birdies against two bogeys, including a three-putt miscue, putting her in the hunt for a victory in a long while.
Many, however, are expecting junior golfer Jiwon Lee to make a charge. The 16-year-old upstart, who plans to turn pro next month at Splendido Taal, produced an impressive 69, highlighted by a two-eagle feat on the front nine, showcasing her power and resolve.
