Bianca Pagdanganan duplicated her decent opening round of 1-under 71 in the fourth round, but it fell short of saving her from going down at t-64th at the end of the 2021 LPGA Mediheal Championship at the Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, California, Monday morning (Manila time).
The 23-year-old pocketed $3,373 (P 161,342) for the finish and maintained her t-134th spot in the year-end CME Group Tour Championship standings.
Starting from square one after two rounds, the current tour rookie nosedived to share 66th place after a hard-luck 5-over 77 in the third round. Five bogeys including three straight in holes No. 6 to No. 8 saw her blowing her chances for the title.
Pagdangan, nonetheless, was able to compose herself in the final round, going par across the first six holes. It was before a bogey in the following pushed her further down at 6-over in total.
With nothing to lose, the world no. 159 negated that bogey with a birdie in the tenth hole and then plucked another birdie at No.15 for her final score of the tournament.
Matilda Casttren of Finland came out of second place to snag the title and the $225,000 (or roughly P10.77-miliion) winner’s prize after a huge 7-under 65 in the day.
Day three leader Min Lee of Chinese Taipei slid to second after a 3-under in the final round.
