Koreans, Thais boost LPGT Beverly cast

MANILA, Philippines — Two-time LPGT Champion Tour titlist Lee Jeong Hwa and fellow Korean Lee Ji Hyeon join the big, talent-laden Thailand crew and the country’s top guns in what promises to be a slam-bang duel in the ICTSI Beverly Place Ladies Classic unfolding tomorrow in Mexico, Pampanga.

The two Lees are all set to slug it out with the Thais, led by former Ladies Philippine Golf Tour leg winners Wannasiri Sirisampant and Saruttaya Ngam-usawan, and the likes of Dottie Ardina, Princess Superal, Pauline del Rosario, Cyna Rodriguez and Chihiro Ikeda in the 54-hole championship serving as the third leg of the new LPGT season.

Lee Ji Hyeon, for one, is going all out for a second championship after ruling the kickoff leg of the country’s premier circuit’s seventh season in the ICTSI Camp John Hay Ladies Championship last October.
