TAIWANESE FANCIED IN LADIES MASTERS

MANILA, Philippines — A fast start will be crucial as the ICTSI Philippine Ladies Masters fires off today featuring Taiwan’s top guns, a deep Thai and Korean contingent, seasoned international campaigners and a determined Filipino cast eager to defend home turf.

The $200,000, 54-hole championship – offering a winner’s purse of $30,000 – also serves as the opening leg of the Taiwan LPGA Tour and unfolds at Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa, Batangas.

With only three rounds to play for the 123-player field, contenders could surface early, leaving little margin for those who stumble out of the gate.

Leading the early favorites is Taiwan’s Min Lee, No. 2 in the Taiwan LPGA Order of Merit and a former LPGA Tour campaigner. Known for her composure and shot-making, Lee anchors a powerful Taiwanese lineup that also includes No. 4 Chih-Min Chen, fifth-ranked Ching Huang – a former Ladies Philippine Golf Tour Midlands winner – and No. 7 Han-Hsuan Yu.
