Bianca Pagdanganan staggered with an 11-under-par 82 to finish at 68th place in the US Women’s Open in Southern Pines, North Carolina Sunday (Monday in Manila).
The Tokyo Olympian blew cold throughout the final round, managing only a single birdie against eight bogeys and two double bogeys.
She struggled from the start with three straight bogeys and another bogey on the seventh, before finding reprieve with a birdie on the eighth.
But it proved to be short-lifted as Pagdanganan stumbled with a double bogey on the par-5 10th hole and then followed it up with three more bogeys on the next four holes.
Her woes continued by shooting another double bogey on the 15th and a bogey next.
Following earlier rounds of 75, 70 and 72, Pagdanganan finished with a four-round total of 299 to trail eventual champion Minjee Lee of Australia by 28 strokes.
Pagdanganan pocketed $19,780 (P1.04 million) consolation prize.
Lee shot an even-par 71 to cruise to a four-stroke victory and a second career major title.
She finished at 13-under-271 ahead of closest pursuer Mina Harigae, who scored a 72 for 275.
Yuka Saso failed to defend her title and missed the cut along with Dottie Ardina.
