While they did flash their familiarity with the tight, demanding layout on a hot, humid day on this mountain-top course, Castil and Abarcas simply sustained their fine showing in the Junior PGT VisMin Classic at Pueblo de Oro last Sunday where they finished Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, behind Alethea Gaccion to secure spots in the national finals of the series.
The eighth leg of this year’s LPGT, organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. and backed by PGTI official apparel Kampfortis Golf, is actually Castil’s second pro tournament after finishing tied for 15th at Forest Hills last June and she vowed to soak up the moment in the next two days and hoped for the best.Abarcas, on the other hand, puts premium on driving, saying: “It’s very important off the tee because the fairways are narrow and if you get it straight, you’ll have more chances.
"I didn't expect to be where I stood but it's exciting," said Abarcas, who is also relishing her stint as a first-time member of the national pool.
