FLORENCE Bisera is brimming with enthusiasm as she embarks on a new journey in her career, joining the crack 16-player Ladies Philippine Golf Tour crew in the Party Golfers Ladies Open unfolding tomorrow, Wednesday, in Taiwan.

“I am super happy to be able to join this tournament, this is my first outside the Philippines,” said Bisera before leaving for the 54-hole championship offering a total prize fund of NT$4 million (P7 million).

But the tournament is more than just a competition. It’s also an avenue and a valuable experience for Bisera as she has her sights set on competing abroad more frequently in the coming year.

“I am excited to learn many things since this is a stepping stone and an experience because I plan to really compete abroad next year,” she said.

The third-year Civil Engineering student at Mapua University had a career-defining moment when she emerged triumphant in the LPGT South Pacific Classic in Davao last September, upstaging some of the best players on the LPGT. While that win was on a familiar turf, she is confident in her abilities and determination to achieve another top podium finish.

“I’ve been hitting my drives considerably well and my short game is quite okay, which I think is the most important thing. I’ve been focusing on my short game the last two months,” said the 21-year-old rising star with an impressive golfing lineage from one of Davao’s renowned golfing clans.

While she remains wary of the opposition from the best of the LPGA of Taiwan and a band of aces from Thailand and Japan, Bisera is hoping to figure in the title race coming off an intensive training for the blue-ribbon event.
