FORMER golf prodigy Dottie Ardina was left to carry to cudgels for the country in the Shoprite LPGA Classic presented by Acer yesterday after shooting 70 for a crowded 14-way tie for 37th entering the final round at the Seaview Bay Course in Galloway, New Jersey.
Ardina, who shot a 68 in the first round, had four birdies against two bogeys over the par-71, 6,190-yard layout to survive the cut in the 54-hole competition offering a top prize of $262,500 (roughly P15.4 million).
She stood six strokes behind pacesetting South Korean Jenny Shin, who checked in with a 69 for 132 and held and held a one-shot lead over Sweden’s Albane Valenzuela (65-133).
