Yuka Saso, a half Japanese, half Filipino lady golfer from the Philippines probably could not have imagined she would be the one holding the trophy of the 2021 US Open Women Golf Championship held in San Francisco, California, USA. She won herself the prize money of a cool US $1 million. Still a teenager at 19 years old, Yuka was one of the youngest to win it. Another Korean player won it in 2008 at exactly the same age. Mind you, Yuka Saso prior to her win was not even a member of the LPGA. She created history for the Philippines at the 2018 Asian Games by winning the first ever gold medal for the Philippines in both women’s individual and women’s team event in Asian Games golf competitions.

The players who participated admired playing the golf course because of its setup and considered this course as one of the hardest as indicated by the low scores.

Congratulations. Step aside please, Mr. Manny Pacquiao.
