Jiwon Lee marked her professional debut in style, besting a stellar field in stormy conditions to win the ICTSI Splendido Taal Championship straight from the junior golf ranks.
LAUREL, Batangas –
Despite slipping into a joint lead with Fortuna after both matched birdies on the 10th and 13th holes at resumption following an hour-long weather delay, Lee's poise and determination shone through. “I’m incredibly happy with this win, especially as a professional this time,” said Lee, who earned P101,250 for her first paycheck. “I’m extremely grateful to be the champion. This achievement was completely unexpected, and I’m still very excited.”
Lee’s victory was her second consecutive win at Splendido Taal, having topped the JPGT Luzon Series I’s premier division last May. And this win not only eased her anxiety about her first professional tournament, but also earned her a place among the elite circle of LPGT winners. She drained the putt and ascended to the top of the podium, a victory expected to further bolster the young shotmaker’s talent, skills and confidence as she aims for more wins in future LPGT tournaments.
