Del Rosario shines in Korean LPGA Q-School
MANILA, Philippines - Pauline del Rosario charged back with a sizzling closing 65 to snatch runner-up honors in the Korean LPGA International Qualifying Tournament Stage 1 Royal Gems Golf and Sports Club recently.
Del Rosario, who has won two titles in the ICTSI Ladies Philippine Golf Tour in her rookie season, shot rounds of 72, 71 and 68 then capped her rally with that seven-under windup to pool a 12-under 276 total in the 72-hole competition.
The 18-year-old ICTSI-backed bet finished four strokes behind first stage winner Korean Chen Yu-ju, who tallied a 16-under 272.
Japanese Miki Nishimura was third with 278.
Her big finish earned her a spot in Stage 2 of the grueling qualifier in September and made her eligible to compete in the initial four of 22 events of KLPGA’s Dream Tour in 2018.
