Del Rosario earns TLPGA card
MANILA,Philippines — Pauline del Rosario slowed down with a 73 but still secured a TLPGA (The LPGA of Taiwan) Tour card with a runner-up finish in the 54-hole Qualifying Tournament topped by Japanese Aoi Harada at the Sun City Golf Club in Hsinchu, Taiwan Friday.
Del Rosario recovered from a three-over card after two holes with birdies on Nos. 6, 9 and 10 but dropped another stroke on the par-3 No. 12 to finish with a 37-36 and a three-day total of 218 that included a 75 and a 69.
Harada gained low medalist honors with a 214 after a 75.
The former Philippine Ladies Amateur Open champion actually won a TLPGA event in 2017, the year she also captured the Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit crown in her rookie pro season with four victories.
Over in Japan, Angelo Que rebounded from a second round 74 with a 70 as he moved to joint 14th at 210, seven strokes off Ho Sung Choi, who fired a 68 for a 203 and a one-shot lead over Shugo Imahira, who pooled a 204 after a 69.
Juvic Pagunsan, this year’s Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit champion, stumbled with a 74 after two 72s as he remained down at joint 52nd at 218.
