GOING from bad to worse, Bianca Pagdanganan fired a 78 yesterday (Sunday in the US) to slump into a five-way tie for 41stt place at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington.
Virtually everything seemed to go wrong for Pagdanganan, whose awful final day output was pockmarked with nine bogeys that could not be overcome by an eagle on hole No. 2 and a birdie on No. 18 over the difficult par-72 6,731-yard course.
She wound up with a total tally 296, worth $46,524 (about P2.73 million), 15 shots behind South Korean veteran Amy Yang, who held her nerves in shooting an even par 72-281 for her first major victory in the US LPGA tour.
Yang won the golf’s third Grand Slam by three strokes over American Lilia Vu, South Korean Jin Young Ko and Japanese Miyu Yamashita to pocket the grand prize of $1.56 million (P91.71 million).
