Bianca Pagdanganan couldn’t sustain a hot start and ended up stumbling with a two-over par 74 in the penultimate round of the KPMG Women’s Open Championship in Sammamish, Washington on Sunday, June 23 .
Everything continued to go downhill for the 2020 Tokyo Olympian from there as she dropped two strokes in the first four holes of the back nine. A birdie on the par-3 17th, somehow, kept her hopes alive but a bogey to end the third round virtually dashed all of her chances to contend for the title in the final round.
Meanwhile, Fil-Japanese Yuka Saso just couldn’t catch a break after faltering to a 77 for 226 – an even worse showing than her 74-75 in the first two rounds. Pagdanganan and Saso, despite the struggles, both look to end the tournament strong in the final 18 holes and carry some sort of momentum heading into the next LPGA event and eventually in the Paris Olympics where the two are poised to qualify.
