Wannasiri Sirisampant and Saruttaya Ngam-usawan banner the 23-player strong Thai side out to keep its domination of the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, which resumes tomorrow with the ICTSI Beverly Place Ladies Classic in Mexico, Pampanga.
The country’s perennial regional rivals won five of the 12 LPGT tournaments in 2018 and ruled the first of two legs of the new season, making them the players to watch in the R750,000 event which features the country’s top guns and a couple of South Korean aces.
Sirisampant won at Southwoods in her first LPGT stint in 2015 while Ngam-usawan scored a breakthrough at Royal Northwoods in 2016 with the likes of Tiranan Yoopan, Alisara Wedchakama, Aunchisa Utama, Mookharin Ladgratok, Saraporn Chamchoi and Chonlada Chayanun firming up the Thais’ title drive in the 54-hole championship put up by ICTSI and organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
