Fired-up Singson leads LPGT charge

ANTIPOLO CITY — Mafy Singson is entering her fourth straight championship week with more excitement than exhaustion, bringing high energy and confidence into the ICTSI Forest Hills Classic, which blasts off today at the Forest Hills Golf and Country Club's Nicklaus course here.

Fresh off a strong campaign on the China Tour, Singson is eager to showcase her sharpened form and ride the momentum of her recent Ladies Philippine Golf Tour victory.

The former amateur standout captured the second leg title at Eagle Ridge last March, edging Florence Bisera in a sudden-death thriller, following a seventh-place finish at Pradera Verde in February.

During the break in the local tour, Singson competed in China and made a splash by co-leading after the first round of the China Golf Women’s Legacy in Sichuan two weeks ago. Though she faded over the final two rounds to finish tied for 24th, the experience proved invaluable.

“I learned a lot about myself and my game these past few weeks,” Singson said.

“I’m looking forward to working on a few things and incorporating what I learned into my game.”
