Jiwon Lee moved on the brink of a historic breakthrough, pulling ahead of a packed ICTSI Splendido Taal Championship leaderboard with a second consecutive 73, underscoring her readiness for recognition as she aims for her first Ladies Philippine Golf Tour victory as a professional.
Lee started with a birdie early Wednesday but faced three straight bogeys from No. 5. She bounced back, however, with a run of pars and a clutch birdie on the 14th at resumption, building a two-stroke cushion over Mikha Fortuna and Marvi Monsalve heading into the final round of the 54-hole, P750,000 championship.
“I will try to play it safe and keep my score low,” Lee said of her final round strategy for a shot at the P101,250 purse. “I won’t go aggressive but will enjoy the moment.” Bisera struggled at the resumption, making a bogey on No. 11, a double bogey on the 13th, and further miscues on Nos. 15 and 16 resulted in a 76, dropping her to joint fourth.
“The stoppage allowed me to re-focus. I stayed calm and patient, hitting one shot at a time. I’ll continue the same approach in the last 18 holes,” she added.
