TARLAC. – Daniella Uy worked on her patience and focused on progress coming off a pair of final round miscues, seeking a second victory in the ICTSI Luisita Championship beginning Tuesday at the Luisita Golf and Country Club here.
Uy blew a huge final round lead in the Iloilo stop of the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour last month and failed to sustain a strong second round charge at Caliraya Springs that stymied her drive for a follow-up to her breakthrough victory at Riviera in 2021.
But the former Junior World champion is confident of completing a podium finish this week while putting emphasis on driving and putting in pursuit of the crown in the 54-hole championship.
“I hope to get my second win at Luisita but I don’t have any expectations,” said Uy, who also campaigns on the LPGA of Taiwan Tour and honed her skills in the US during the pandemic. “I just want to have fun and not force anything on the golf course.”
After storming into contention with a second round 67 at Caliraya and ending up joint fifth with a closing 74 three weeks ago, Uy worked on her long game and putting during the break to get her A-ready for the Luisita battle.
