Thai Saruttaya Ngam-usawan returns to the scene of her first and only victory on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, hoping to end a long spell in the ICTSI Royal Northwoods Ladies Classic, which gets going tomorrow at the Royal Northwoods Golf Club, Inc. in San Rafael, Bulacan.
Ngam-usawan edged Cyna Rodriguez by two to rule the event in 2016 but failed to score a follow-up since although a slew of Thai players have stepped up and kept their domination of the country’s premier ladies tour, including the last two tournaments won by Thanutra Boonraksasat at Southwoods last month and Arpichaya Yubol at Manila Golf two weeks ago.
Boonraksasat is also in the Royal Northwoods list, ready to go for another victory in the circuit put up by ICTSI and organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. along with Jaruporn Na Ayutthaya, Numa Gulyanamitta, Sarinee Thitiratanakorn and Tirapan Yoopan, who is likewise due for a big win.
Supakchaya Pattaranakrueang, who also won at Luisita last year, is also joining the R1.5 million tournament, further boosting the Thais’ bid in the 54-hole championship.
