DOTTIE Ardina fired a 68 and Jayvie Agojo recovered with a 70 allowing the Philippines to come up with a 213 to push up its lead to three over Thailand in the third round of the Santi Cup of the Southeast Asia Amateur Golf Team Championships in Hong Kong.
Andie Unson made a birdie-less 75, the same output put in by Chihiro Ikeda, who sputtered with a 39 at the back, including a final hole bogey, with one of those five-over cards counting for the team’s 213 and a 54-hole total of 629.
“Chihiro simply lost her focus at the back, missing a lot of putts but Dottie remains as solid as ever. Jayvie also made a good account of herself after two poor rounds while I hope Andie to bounce back tomorrow (today),” said national team and ICTSI golf squad coach Bong Lopez.
The Thais remained in the second spot (632) after shooting a combined 214. Pinrath Loomboonruang rebounded from a triple-bogey 8 on No. 2 with five birdies in the last 14 holes, finishing with a 68 and preserving a one-stroke lead (204) over Ardina (205) in the individual race.
