    LPGA-bound golfer Bianca Pagdanganan in fine form for SEA Games
    Nov 27, 2019

    [All eyes will be on the Filipino athletes when the country hosts the Southeast Asian Games beginning on November 30. And the pressure is on the Philippines to deliver not only a successful hosting of the Games but also win the overall championship - a feat it achieved the last time it hosted the conclave in 2005. The country is targeting at least 120 gold medals. Before the Games commence, Spin.ph lists down 15 of the Philippines' best gold-medal hopes. Here's the 10th part.]

    AFTER golf's solid showing in the 2018 Asian Games, expectations are high for the Philippine team at the 30th Southeast Asian Games.

    Leading the way is Bianca Pagdanganan, who won bronze in women's singles and a gold medal in the women's team event in the Asiad with Yuka Saso and Lois Kaye Go.

    The 22-year-old is in fine form heading to the Dec. 4 to 8 competition at Luisita Golf Club in Tarlac after clinching her LPGA Tour card in a rigorous qualifying that ended at Pinehurst.

    Pagdanganan wound up tied for 38th in the 2019 LPGA Q-Series in early November, a positive leadup for the young golfer for the biennial games.

    She also holds five amateur wins under her belt, most recently at the 2019 Hawkeye El Tigre Invitational back in March.

    Although Asian Games gold medalist Saso won't be suiting up in these SEA Games, Pagdanganan, together with her peers, are ready to pick up the slack.

    Also part of the Philippine golf team are Go and Abegail Arevalo in the women's side, as well as Luis Miguel Castro, Aidric Jose Chan, Carl Jano Corpus, and Sean John Ramos in the men's division.
