Nagashima Shigeo Invitational Sega Sammy Cup for a
sixth-place finish—his best so far in the current Japan

finished with a three-under 285 to be in a five-way tie
with Yasaku Miyazato, Mamo Osanai, Tateo Jet Ozaki and
Azuma Yano. Each received ¥4,617,000, (about P1.73
million).

nine-under 276 total. He earned ¥30 million. Thailand’s

Dottie
feeling happy
DOTTIE
ARDINA won the Women’s Western Golf Association’s (WWGA)
81st National Junior Championship at the The Player’s
Championship River’s Bend in Maineville, Ohio, defeating
Kelly Shon of Port Washington, New York, 3 and 2, in the
match-play competition.
Ardina
was very happy to win this tournament. She has been
traveling in the United States this summer along with
five of her national teammates. After the match, she and
her teammates were off to spend the rest of the day at
King’s Island Amusement Park.
Today,
she will travel to
San Diego
for the Callaway Junior World Championship and on to the
USGA Junior Girl’s Championship the following week. In
the fall, she will relocate to Bradenton, Florida, and
enroll in the David Leadbetter Golf Academy along with
some of her teammates.
Delasin
drops to 56th
DOROTHY
DELASIN played with too much caution, lapsed into two
bogey errors and a terrible double bogey at the
par-three 14th hole of the par-71 Highland Meadows Golf
Club to be way off in a five-way logjam for 56th place
with one round left in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning
Classic in Ohio.
Jennifer
Rosales, still hurting from the numerous therapy
sessions to cure her nagging left wrist injury, did not
make the cut. She carded a five-over-par 147
(74-73)—just two shots off the cut-off score of 145.
Tanpinco
bows to Japanese
ANA
IMELDA TANPINCO fell short in the 77th Women’s Trans
National Amateur Championship as she got clobbered by
Japanese junior golfer Miho Murata, 3 and 1, in the
match-play phase held at the Persimmon Ridge Golf Club
in Louisville, Kentucky.
Tanpinco
breezed past her first-round outing against Rachel
Ingram, 6 and 5, then followed it up with a 2 and 1
drubbing of fourth seed Sara Brown. But she was booted
out by Murata in the round of 16. |
