RIANNE MALIXI got her game back and Team Philippines moved into contention for a podium finish in the penultimate round of the 43rd Queen Sirikit Cup at the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club’s Masters course in Carmona, Cavite, on Thursday.
Malixi had a slow one-birdie, two-bogey card in the opening nine but came out stronger at the back side where he made three birdies and an eagle for a four-under 68—five strokes off India’s Avani Prashanth and solo second in the individual title race. The Filipina ace who will turn 16 in two weeks roared back with a 15-foot birdie on the 10th, added two more on the 11th and 15th and capped her brilliant final nine with a long 25-foot putt for eagle on the 18th to end the day in contention for the individual title.
“Patience was the key. When two bogeys happened on Nos. 6 and 7, I got a little frustrated,” Malixi said. “But I told myself to calm down and patiently waited for the next birdie to drop. When it did on the 10th, it turned my game around. Positive things came, including that eagle on the last hole.”South Korea slowed down with 144 but held on the top spot with 425, followed by India , Japan , Indonesia and New Zealand at third with 433.
“We achieved our goal of slicing down Korea’s lead and, as bonus, Rianne [Malixi] has a shot for the individual plum,” said captain Ann Granada, noting that if the young lass from Quezon City wins, she will be the second Filipina to do that after Dottie Ardina in 2011 in India.
