Pagdanganan posts four-over, ties for 53rd place after third round of US Women's Open

MANILA, Philippines -- Bianca Pagdanganan struggled in the third round of the 2026 US Women’s Open, tallying a four-over 75 Sunday morning (Manila time) at the Riviera Country Club in California. 

After 54 holes, Pagdanganan is holding a six-over par and sitting at joint-53rd as of press time, with a number of golfers still playing. 

Pagdanganan tallied a bogey in the par-4 fifth hole after her second shot went to the left fairway. She then needed three shots in the green en route to a bogey. 

After pars in the sixth, seventh and eighth holes, the Filipina power hitter struggled in the ninth hole as her second hole went to the bunker. 

She was able to get out of the tough spot, but her third shot went to the right rough.

Pagdanganan then needed another three shots to complete the ninth hole for a double bogey. 

She played steadily in the back nine, but she tallied another bogey in the 18th hole to finish off her less-than-ideal third round. 

Pagdanganan is currently the only golfer from the Philippines still in the running in the $12-million major championship, after Filipina-Japanese Yuka Saso and Pauline del Rosario missed the cut yesterday.

But Pagdanganan will have to cover a lot of ground to try and mount a comeback.
