Yvon, Harmie in tight fight for OOM crown

CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines — A first Order of Merit crown is within Yvon Bisera’s reach, but Harmie Constantino stands in the way – and with three legs left in the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour season, the race for supremacy is shaping up as a down-to-the-wire battle.

Bisera and Constantino lead a talented field heading into the ICTSI Pueblo de Oro Championship, which gets under way today at Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club here. The P1.25-million championship kicks off a three-leg Mindanao swing that will decide not only the season’s remaining tournament titles but also the coveted OOM crown.

Armed with a pair of victories and three other strong finishes, Bisera has built a commanding position atop the season-long rankings, with total earnings of P439,150. But the margin offers little room for complacency, especially with Constantino, a former OOM champion, mounting a determined bid to reclaim the distinction she won in 2024.
