SILANG, Cavite, Philippines – Pauline del Rosario brims with confidence as she launches her drive for a third straight crown on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, raring to flaunt her form in the ICTSI Riviera Ladies Championship firing off today at Riviera’s Langer course here.
After a couple of failed bids for a maiden pro win, Del Rosario racked up back-to-back victories in empathic fashion at Orchard and Baguio last month and turned in a strong fourth place effort in the recent Taiwan Ladies Open, making her the player to watch in the P750,000 event sponsored by ICTSI.
“I’m feeling good right now, my confidence has been constantly high, especially coming off a solo fourth place at the Taiwan Ladies Open, my best finish so far abroad,” said Del Rosario, also a former Philippine Ladies Open winner.
But unlike in her two title romps, Del Rosario will have her hands full this week with reigning Philippine Ladies Open champion Bianca Pagdanganan joining at the last minute to further bolster the compact international field.
