LPGT bets out to make mark in Taiwan

MANILA, Philippines — Filipina golfers aim for a breakthrough victory at the Party Golfers Ladies Open, which begins today at the Lily Golf and Country Club in Guanxi Township, Hsinchu in Taiwan.

Since 2015, the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT) and the LPGA of Taiwan (TLPGA) have collaborated, with the Party Golfers Open being co-sanctioned in 2018. The highest finish by a Filipina in the event has been Daniella Uy’s fourth place in 2019.

But this year, a determined group of LPGT standouts are aiming for a strong showing against a competitive field that includes the best from Taiwan and Thailand.

Pauline del Rosario, who tied for sixth in last year’s tournament, enters the NT$5 million championship with renewed confidence and some recent swing adjustments after a season on the Epson Tour.
