Ababa fancied in Palos leg
Aiming to build on her newfound momentum on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, Sarah Ababa is gearing up for another strong showing in the ICTSI Palos Verdes Championship, which gets underway on Tuesday.
Fresh from her come-from-behind victory at Apo, Ababa is brimming with confidence as she prepares to face the same field she thumped last Thursday.
However, her main challenge lies in navigating the unfamiliar terrain at Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club, where she hasn’t played in over two decades.“Despite being from Davao, I haven’t played at Palos Verdes in 20 years,” said Ababa. “But I’ll be approaching the tournament with the same determination and strategic mindset.”
Boosting her confidence is the presence of her father, Edgar, as her caddie. While he could’ve competed in the men’s event last week, he helped his daughter win for the first time since the Sherwood Hills leg in 2015.
