MANILA, Philippines — Three top players from Thailand gear up for a three-day shootout with the cream of the country’s crop and a slew of other foreign aces in the 2018 Champion Infinity Philippine Ladies Open 2018 which reels off tomorrow at the Orchard Golf and Country Club’s Palmer Course in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Onkanok Soisuwan, Kultida Pramphun and Pinkaew Trachuentong hope to play to their true potential as they try to reclaim the crown won by their compatriot Pimnipa Panthong at Wack Wack in 2015.
The Thais actually made it a 1-2 finish then with Kanyalak Preedasutthijit taking runner-up honors but the Filipinas ruled the next two editions of the country’s premier championship organized and conducted by the Women’s Golf Association of the Philippines with Princess Superal edging Yuka Saso by one at Tagaytay Midlands in 2016.
Bianca Pagdangangan then set a record 16-under 200 total, also at Wack Wack, last year. The University of Arizona mainstay, however, hopes to shake off a struggling stint in the Philippine Amateur Open where she ended up ninth at Riviera’s Couples course last Sunday.
