Uy churns out solid AsPac start
MANILA, Philippines — Daniella Uy mixed two birdies with the same number of bogeys in a strong start in the Asia Pacific Cup at the pondok Indah Golf Course in Jakarta yesterday.
Deemed the least-credentialed among the four Filipinas here, Uy matched par 72 and trailed Thai ace Atthaya Thitikul and three others, including Korean amateur Hyosong Lee, by four.
The reigning Ladies Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit champion set her bid in motion with a birdie on No. 2 but a slip on the par-3 No. 8 and a subsequent bogey on the 10th tested her mettle. Undeterred, Uy rebounded with a birdie on No. 11, setting the stage for a gutsy run of pars that led to a pair of 36s for a share of 14th.
Bianca Pagdanganan posted a one-over 73 while fellow ICTSI-backed campaigners Princess Superal and LPGA and Epson Tour veteran Dottie Ardina wavered with 74s.
