BIANCA Pagdanganan hopes to snap out of her struggles in her last three tournaments when she tees off today (Thursday in the US) in the AmazingCre Portland Classic at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon.
Pagdanganan has missed the cut in her last three outings in the US LPGA tour, including the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati, Ohio over the weekend, and will be out to break her prolonged slump on the par-72, 6,448-yard course in the home of the NBA Portland Trailblazers.
Once ranked as high as No. 144 in the Rolex Women’s world rankings, the Tokyo Olympic Games veteran has slumped to an all-time low of 254 and will be keen to end her slump in the tournament offering a total pot of $1.5 million (roughly P85.5 million), with $210,000 (P11.9 million) going to the champion.
She will contend with a tough field featuring 16 of the top 50 players in the Rolex ratings, among them South Korean No. 2 and defending champion Jin Young Ko.
