Hot-again Princess is queen at Caliraya

Princess Superal clawed her way back to the top with the grit of a champion and the fire of someone who never stopped believing.

After four long years of waiting, working and wondering if her game would ever return to its former brilliance, the former US Girls’ Junior champion finally broke through, edging Sarah Ababa in a nerve-wracking sudden-death playoff to capture the ICTSI Caliraya Springs Championship crown in dramatic fashion here Thursday, Aug. 7.

“It feels great. I'm so happy,” said Superal, finally letting the emotions of a long title drought melt away. “This year, naramdaman ko talaga na nag-i-improve na ang laro ko. I've been waiting for this moment ~and deep down, [knew I could win again.”

She certainly showed it.
