Daniella Uy dusted herself off a previous setback that ruined a three-straight title drive and went right back at it, shooting a stunning eight-under 64 yesterday to secure the ICTSI Mimosa Plus Championship on Wednesday, Sept. 27, and emerge the winningest player on this year’s Ladies Philippine Golf Tour.
What was expected to be a wild, down-to-the-wire battle among three of the Tour’s top guns turned into a five-shot cakewalk for Uy, who cranked up her final round charge with two frontside eagles, leading to a 31 and a two-shot cushion after starting the final round one stroke behind Harmie Constantino and Mikha Fortuna .
“After leading by three on No. 11, I still went for the par-5 14th and made another birdie. That further boosted my confidence and I made another on the next,” added Uy, who banked P120,000 for her latest feat in the circuit put up by ICTSI. But she double bogeyed the par-5 No. 14 to all but drop out of the title race and needed to birdie the next to save a 71 and tie for third with Korean Seoyun Kim at 208. Each got P66,000.
“I’m leaving tomorrow for Japan for the Q-School in Ibaraki. I need to work double-time in practice to familiarize myself with the course and this win is a big confidence-booster,” said Uy, who thanked her family and friends for their continued support, including her backers GolfX, Januarius and Titleist Philippines.
