MANILA – Princess Superal is excited to be back on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT), joining a highly competitive field in the ICTSI Caliraya Springs Championship set to be held at the Caliraya Springs Golf Club in Cavinti, Laguna on April 9.
Also competing in the event, which offers PHP1 million in cash prizes, are LPGT leg winners Sarah Ababa and Harmie Constantino, along with Lois Kaye Go and Mafy Singson, Chihiro Ikeda, Florence Bisera, Marvi Monsalve, Annika Cedo, Velinda Vestil, Rev Alcantara, and the multi-titled Chanelle Avaricio.
Superal said she is more focused on improving her driving technique than the results.
“The goal is always to win. But since I am working on my long game, I want to focus first on the process more than the results,” said the 2014 US Girls’ Junior Championship winner.
Under the guidance of swing coach Bong Lopez at Manila Southwoods, Superal has prepared herself for the tough challenge ahead in Caliraya.
“I play four times a week, then practice at the range and work on my short game,” shared Superal, who will resume her campaign at the Japan Step Up Tour next month.
Superal is the first amateur to win an LPGT event at John Hay in 2013.
Her last title victory in the circuit was at Eagle Ridge in 2021. The following year, she lost the Hallow Ridge title to Avaricio in sudden death.
Superal also won the 2022 Asia Pacific Cup in Indonesia, upstaging the likes of major winners So Yeon Ryu and Hyo Joo Kim of Korea and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko. (PNA)
