Tony Lascuña turned a season of doubts into a year-end of hope, beating Keanu Jahns, 4&3, to crown himself the first ICTSI Villamor Match Play men’s champion in Pasay on Friday, Nov. 18.
But Harmie Constantino produced a magical win in the women’s final, coming through with a clutch chip-in birdie she described as “unexplainable” as she edged top amateur Rianne Malixi in a rain-drenched duel that stretched to the 19th hole to snare the hotly-contested title.
“It’s unexplainable, hindi talaga ako makapaniwala ,” said Constantino, who also won the LPGT season-ending tournament at Pradera Verde, beating Chanelle Avaricio, also a three-leg winner this year, by one last month. But she struggled with her putting stroke, missing at least seven cracks at birdies inside five feet although she controlled the match up to the 17th until that costly mishit on the 18th that virtually changed the course of play.
“I think I’d win all the matches. I’ve been playing well and my putting is just as okay with my driving and irons. I also didn’t want to end the season without a win, so I really prepared for this,” said Lascuna, so confident even in such format where one shot or one hole could shift the momentum to the other player.
He conceded the hole and Lascuna took the next with a 15-foot birdie putt that dealt so much pressure for Jahns, who flubbed his own birdie bid from 10 feet.

Aging bomb - BusinessWorld OnlineConspiracy theorists warn of nefarious efforts, mainly science-based, by wealthy industrialists to deliberately cut the global population, as a way of saving the planet. I don’t give much credibility to such theories as I also doubt very much if war, plague, pandemic, hunger, or whatever science-based machinations perpetrated are enough to drastically reduce the world’s population.
