Pauline del Rosario, despite toning down expectations, remains optimistic about chances in her return stint to the LPGA of Taiwan (TLPGA), joining a formidable roster of Filipina campaigners in the Party Golfers Ladies Open unfolding November 8 the Lily Golf and Country Club in Guanxi Township in Hsinchu county.
Del Rosario marked her pro debut in style in 2017, winning four tournaments on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour and capping it with a victory in the TLPGA and Royal Open. She charged back from seven strokes down in the final round and edged then TLPGA No. 1 Yu Ju Chen by one on a closing 66 at the Royal Kuan-Hsi Golf Club, also in Guanxi Township, thus becoming the first Filipina to win on the lucrative circuit.
“Confidence is built on trust in one’s skill and that’s something I’m continuously working on,” said del Rosario after closing out the Epson Tour season at No. 79 with a best finish of tied 18th in 20 events. But the Philippines also has a crack roster headed by LPGT titlists Daniella Uy, Harmie Constantino, Chanelle Avaricio and Florence Bisera. Also in the fold are Mikha Fortuna, Marvi Monsalve, Rev Alcantara, Sarah Ababa, Pamela Mariano and Chihiro Ikeda along with Koreans Seoyun Kim and Ju Young Yang and amateurs Laurea Duque, Lia Duque and Mafy Singson, who also topped the LPGT Valley leg.
