BACOLOD City – Harmie Constantino ended a prolonged slump in spectacular fashion, rallying from three strokes down to edge out Sarah Ababa by one shot and claim the title at the weather-shortened ICTSI Negros Occidental Classic with a courageous 69 here on Thursday, Oct. 24.
Harmie Constantino gets warm, heartfelt hugs from fellow golfers Jiwon Lee and Florence Bisera after pulling off a stunning come-from-behind victory.
"It didn't feel like the victory was mine the entire day. I even had a shaky start," she added, referring to her three-putt on No. 7 after the resumption of play in the rain-suspended second round. Despite trailing by three strokes with six holes to play, Constantino held her nerve. She birdied the par-5 14th to force a three-way tie with Ababa and Bisera at five-over overall, setting up a potential playoff finish.
Ababa, unable to capitalize on the par-5 18th, settled for a two-putt par, giving Constantino her fourth victory at the close of the 10-stage circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. With gusty winds swirling, Zaragosa managed to craft a one-under-par card over the remaining six holes, concluding the second round with a 66 and six-under total of 134 at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club course.
