BIANCA Pagdanganan remained stuck in a three-way tie for 20th place after the third round of the 50th Cambia Portland Classic at the Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, Oregon was washed out yesterday (Saturday in the US).
“Due to course conditions and more rain forecast through Saturday evening and into Sunday, the LPGA Tour has reduced the 2021 Cambia Portland Classic to 54 holes,” the LPGA said in statement. “While officials hope to finish the competition on Sunday, play may extend into Monday if necessary.”
After shooting a 74 in the first round, Pagdanganan was less erratic in the second round, shooting a 70 over the par-72, 6,478-yard course. The event offers a total pot of $1.4 million, with $262,500 (around P13 million) going to the winner.
With a two-round tally of 144, the 2019 Southeast Asian Games double gold medalist stood eight shots behind solo South Korean frontrunner Jin Young Ko, who had rounds of 69-67 for 136 and a one-shot lead over Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh. — Bong Pedralvez
