A stirring five win streak in a six-week stretch late in the season turned what had seemed to be a mediocre campaign by the Filipina golfers into a remarkable season.

Jayvie Agojo sparked the season-ending blast with a victory in the Santi Cup, the ladies championship of the Putra Cup, in Indonesia last September before Cyna Rodriguez (Hong Kong Ladies Amateur Open), Dottie Ardina (Cangolf Amateur and Taiwan Amateur Open) and Princess Superal (Malaysian Juniors Open) followed suit.

After a fourth place finish in Indonesia Open that broke the run, Ardina took the Penang Amateur Open title then led a stirring sweep of the Filipina bets – along with Superal and Sarah Ababa – of the three titles in the Singapore Juniors Championships early this month.

All told, the team racked up 23 victories, including nine by Superal and seven by Ardina, while making an impact in a series of US tournaments and in Australia, where it impressed even the national team from Down Under after Ardina set a new course record 65 at the Dunes.

It was actually a season marked by a number of feats capped by Ardina’s rise to number 45 in the women’s world amateur golf rankings where she moved four rungs after leading the team’s sweep in Singapore.

In fact, the top seven Filipino players in the list are all members of the team, including Superal, who rose from 120 to No. 109, Agojo now at 148 from 155, Mia Piccio from 172 to 165, Rodriguez at 248 from 256, Sarah Ababa at 401 from 440 and Lovelynn Guioguio from 487 to 474.

Ardina and Superal are also expected to gain more points pending the result of their Singapore romp.

Despite falling short at the TransNational Championship in South Carolina, a major part of the US Women’s Amateur series, where she lost to Aussie top player Breanna Elliot in the finals, Superal gained precious ranking points that put her within the top 100 in the world.

Agojo also made it to the LPGA Taiwan pro tournament while Rodriguez’s big win in Hong Kong hinted at another explosive comeback by the former Philippine Ladies Open champion.
