MANILA, Philippines -- Dottie Ardina made the most of her limited appearance on the LPGA Tour, firing a three-under 68, while newly crowned US Women’s Open champion Yuka Saso settled for a 69 at the start of the ShopRite LPGA Classic led by Arpichaya Yubol in Galloway, New Jersey Friday .
Ardina, expected to join ICTSI stablemate Bianca Pagdanganan in the Philippine team for the Paris Olympics next month, found herself trailing Yubol by seven strokes. The Thai golfer, who beat Saso for the ICTSI Manila Ladies Golf Classic title in 2019, dominated the course with an eagle-spiked, bogey-free 10-under 61.
Pagdanganan, however, struggled with a 73, placing her in joint 129th and in danger of missing the cut in the 54-hole championship.
