The country’s hosting of the inaugural BingoPlus Philippine ADT Open held at the Luisita Golf and Country Club in Tarlac City not only ushered in a new era in Philippine golf, but also provided a valuable platform for local talents aiming to make their mark on the international stage.
A total of 15 Filipino players including amateurs Shinichi Suzuki and Rico Daniel See made it to the cut, with Sean Ramos emerging as the best local performer in the four-round tournament with an 11-under 277 -- five strokes behind eventual champion Michele Ortolani of Italy.
Ramos, along with Clyde Mondilla, secured the two automatic berths allocated to the top two Filipino finishers for the International Series Philippines set later this year, joining three-time Asian Tour champion Angelo Que, who had already earned an exemption into the prestigious event.
Mondilla actually finished with an 8-under 280, two shots behind Que.
“It’s a great opportunity, making it into the International Series Philippines. I’m very excited for the event,” said Mondilla.
The 32-year-old former Philippine Open champion is determined to make the most out of the opportunity after falling short of his expectations in his inaugural appearance last year.
“I played last year at Sta. Elena, but I didn't perform as well as I wanted to. Hopefully this year I'll be able to compete better and put in a stronger performance,” said Mondilla.
The same holds true for Ramos, who is also seeking to eclipse last year’s performance at the International Series Philippines where he missed the cut by just one shot.
It is also an opportunity to elevate his game as he tries to continue his climb up the professional golf ladder.
“Very excited, of course,” said Ramos. “I lost my Asian Tour card last year by a very small margin, so having the opportunity to get back out there, prove myself and compete again means a lot.
“I'm hoping to perform better than I did at last year's International Series Philippines. It would be amazing if I could put together a great week, contend and maybe even get a win,” he added.
Meanwhile, Suzuki made the most out of his stint at the Philippine ADT Open, where he finished 17 strokes behind the champion at 288.
“As an amateur, it’s great to play with all the pros and the professionals this week, especially the best in the region,” said the 18-year-old, who won the ICTSI Mt. Malarayat Junior PGT Championship last April.
“Playing with someone who’s a lot better than you, has a lot of experience than you, and playing better than them on the first day is something that could see which level I am at as an amateur,” he added.
