Rianne Malixi wrestled with her putter coming home as she faltered with a second 74 in three days to all but blow off her shot at the Women’s Amateur Asia Pacific Championship crown here Saturday, March 11.
Three-putt miscues on Nos. 12 and 16 typified the young Filipina shotmaker’s day-long struggle on the undulating surface of the Singapore Island Country Club’s The New Course that saw her muff three birdie chances inside seven feet at the front and a couple more of opportunities at the back.
Kim, meanwhile, slipped to second at 209 while Japanese world No. 5 Yuna Araki fired a second straight 68 in cloudy skies to jump to third at 210. “I wouldn’t say I have it in the bag because as you know, these players, they’re really good,” said Galitsky. “I’ll just try to play my game and if they, if one of them has a really good game tomorrow , then they deserve it.”
Like Malixi, Kim blamed her poor putting, ruing: “My putting was very good, so only practice on putting.” She flubbed a 20-footer for birdie on the second hole, an uphill-downhill putt from 12 feet on No. 3 and another eight-footer on the par-5 No. 4.
