Constantino wins Apo crown by two strokes
Three consecutive birdies helped Harmie Constantino overturn a deficit and claim her second Ladies Philippine Golf Tour title of the season.
Harmie Constantino carded a closing 3-under 69 at Apo Golf Club to win the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour season finale, finishing two strokes ahead of Korea’s Kim Seoyun with a 1-under 213 total.
Kim and Chanelle Avaricio shared the lead heading into the final round, with Constantino two strokes back. Constantino’s run of three birdies began at the fifth hole, while Kim shot 73 to finish on 215. The victory added to Constantino’s earlier success at Caliraya Springs.
Constantino said the long season had left her short of motivation, but her ball-striking gave her confidence that she could contend. She credited patience and her decision not to force shots.
Yvon Bisera’s 71 earned her a tie for third. Her round included an ace at the 165-yard 17th, where she used a pitching wedge.
In the Philippine Golf Tour’s ICTSI Apo Golf Classic, Micah Shin took control with a 67 and had one round remaining in his bid for another victory at Apo.
