Bisera eyes top finish in LPGT Match Play

MANILA, Philippines — Buoyed by her respectable showing in her first overseas foray, Florence Bisera bristles with confidence as she prepares for the ICTSI The Country Club Match Play Invitational beginning tomorrow at the TCC course in Laguna.

“I’ve never played TCC but I feel good about my chances,” said Bisera, who posted a tied for 17th finish in the recent Party Golfers Ladies Open of the LPGA of Taiwan Tour (TLPGA), a Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. co-sanctioned event.

But shifting from stroke play to head-to-head format will demand adjustments from Bisera and the rest of the field.

They include Harmie Constantino, who is gunning for a repeat win after upending top amateur Rianne Malixi in sudden death in the inaugural event last year, Chihiro Ikeda, Sarah Ababa, Pamela Mariano, Gretchen Villacencio, Apple Fudolin, Rev Alcantara, Kristine Fleetwood, Lovelynn Guioguio, Eva Miñoza, Lucy Landicho and Mikha Fortuna.
