Dottie Ardina carded a one-over-par 73 on Sunday to take a share of seventh place Sunday in the Taiwan LPGA Players’ Championship at the Orient Golf and Country Club at Taoyuan City.
It was an auspicious start of the season for Ardina who will be dividing her time playing for the Epson Tour and occasionally at the LPGA after failing to obtain a full card this season.
She finished one-over 289 after scoring 73-71-72 in the first three days in the $1-million tourney.
Japanese Hanuka Kawasaki closed out with a 77 for a one-stroke triumph, totaling two-under 286.
Taiwanese Hou Yu-sang and Japanese Rio Takeda finished joint second after a 72 and a 74, respectively.
South Korea’s Im Jin-hee (70) and Chen Yu-ju (74); and Japan’s Saiki Fujita (72) were joint fourth placers.
