THE International Container Terminal Services Inc. Eagle Ridge Ladies Championship, scheduled to unfold Tuesday at Norman course, has been cancelled due to the spike of Covid-19 cases in the country, particularly in the National Capital Region, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal.The Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) placed the areas back to general community quarantine because of the rising Covid-19 cases the last few weeks, forcing the PGTI to cancel the second of two LPGT events marking the start of the 2021 season.
“In line with the new IATF Resolution, Cavite shall be placed under General Community Quarantine [GCQ] from March 22 to April 4, 2021. For the safety and protection of our players and employees, the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Ladies Championship will be cancelled until further notice,” the Philippine Golf Tour Inc. said in a statement.
The tournament was supposed to be payback time for Princess Superal, who worked on her putting ahead of her highly anticipated title rematch with Harmie Constantino.
The 2019 Ladies Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit champion flubbed a number of putts in the final round while Constantino came through with clutch strokes, enabling the latter to squeak out a two-stroke victory at the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Challenge at Aoki last week.
