Filipinas Dottie Ardina and Bianca Pagdanganan join a star-studded field starting Thursday (Friday in Manila) when the Dana Open blasts off in Sylvania, Ohio.
Newly crowned US Women’s Open champion Allisen Corpuz will lead the cast along with the sport’s biggest stars like Minjee Lee and former champions Lydia Ko and Paula Creamer.
The tournament, to be played at the Highland Meadow Golf Club, dangles $1.75 million. It was last won by Gaby Lopez of Mexico who pulled off an 18-under en route to victory.
Ardina finished tied for 53rd at the Pebble Beach to make up for her lackluster performances the previous tournaments.
Pagdanganan didn’t see action in the last major, but was tied for 54th during the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
