Mariel Galdiano and Bianca Pagdanganan lost their steam and fell out of the Top 2 in the leaderboard after two rounds in The Standard Portland Classic at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, Aug. 15 (Philippine time).
Galdiano, a Hawaiian of Filipino parentage, stumbled from the solo lead after carding a 1-under-par 71 to trail new leader Arpichaya Yubol of Thailand by four strokes and drop into a tie for 12th at 8-under.
Yubol shot her second straight 66 to seize the second-round lead.
Starting at the back nine, Galdiano, who opened her campaign with a 65, couldn’t sustain her hot start and fumbled with a bogey and a double bogey on her first 10 holes. She picked up her pace with birdies on Nos. 3 and 6, and an eagle-3 on No. 7.
Pagdanganan, who trailed Galdiano by one shot in the first round, also fumbled with a 75 to miss the cut by one stroke.
The two-time Olympian had three birdies, by struggled with four bogeys and a double bogey on No. 17.
Meanwhile, Thai Pajaree Anannarukarn was a stroke back Yubol with Sophia Schubert and Hye-Jin Choi. Anannarukarn and Schubert shot 66, and Choi had a 67 on the tree-lined course.
“I had five or six weeks off at home leading up to this, and I worked really hard,” Schubert said. “Worked on my putting because that’s what I need to work on. It’s just really been clicking, making putts.”
The 24-year-old Yubol is winless in four seasons on the LPGA Tour. She finished second this year at Mayakoba and the ShopRite LPGA.
After birdieing in the par-4 17th to get to 13 under, Yubol bogeyed the par-4 18th for her first bogey on the week.
“It’s golf, so it always happens,” Yubol said. “For me, 36 holes with just one bogey is amazing.”
Haeran Ryu, the winner of consecutive majors this year at the KPMG Women’s PGA and Evian Championship, topped a large group at 9 under. She shot 68.
Lexi Thompson missed the cut with rounds of 73 and 72 after announcing that she’s going to be a mother. Thompson posted Tuesday on Instagram a photo with husband Max Provost and photos of the sonogram of a girl due in February.
