Korean rules ICTSI Ladies Masters
MANILA, Philippines — Kim Kayoung of South Korea saved her best for last, shooting four birdies in the final round to cap a fiery comeback and snatch the coveted crown in the ICTSI WWL Philippine Ladies Masters yesterday at The Country Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The Korean rose from the ashes – all the way at 42nd place in Round 1 after a 73 – with similar four-under 68 scores in the final 36 holes (total 209) as home bet Pauline del Rosario also closed out strong for joint fourth place.
Ranked No. 90 in the KLPGA, Kayoung ignited her last-ditch rally with three birdies on the front nine for a 33 then another birdie on the par-5 10th before sweeping the rest of the holes to steal the pace as the challenging winds brought by a cloudy weather spelled doom for previous leaders.
Nook Sukapan (210) of Thailand fired a three-under 69 while Li-Ning Wang (211) of Chinese Taipei had a 72 to complete the podium.
Del Rosario (212), flew the flag high for the 32-player Philippine contingent with an even 72 to catch up for a tie for fourth place.
