Piccio
finishes eleventh Bacolod ace Mia Piccio shot a 79 yesterday and settled for 11th place in the ICTSI-Philippine Ladies Amateur championship at The Country Club in Laguna. A day after shooting a 71 that kept her in contention, the 15-year-old Piccio was unable to perfectly read the greens in a round marred by two double bogeys against a lone birdie on the par 5 14th hole. Piccio, who missed two birdie putts inside five feet yesterday,
tallied a three-round total of 223, two shots behind 10th placer
Thidpa Suwannapura, who submitted a 76 for a 221 aggregate. |
