Two victories in the first four legs have put Yvon Bisera firmly in the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour title hunt, and the Davao ace is out to make it three when the P1-million ICTSI Summit Point Championship unwraps Tuesday (8 September) at Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa City, Batangas.

But for Bisera, the championship is about more than another LPGT trophy.

It will also serve as her final major test at home before she makes her maiden appearance on the Korean LPGA Tour later this month, adding significance to her bid at Summit Point.

“I want to perform well at Summit Point kasi preparation ko din ‘to going to Korea,” said Bisera, the 2025 Thailand LPGA Masters champion who is set to compete in the Hana Financial Group Championship on 17-20 September in Gyeonggi Province’s Daebudo Island, southwest of Seoul.

Bisera has been in impressive form this season, outlasting two rivals in a playoff to win the Lakewood Championship in March before producing a seven-shot romp at the Pradera Verde Championship last July.

The victories have established her as one of the tour’s leading contenders heading into the Summit Point showdown.

With her Korean LPGA debut fast approaching, Bisera has devoted extra time to sharpening her short game, which she believes could prove decisive at Summit Point.

While awaiting her Korean visa documents, the Davaoena has focused on improving her touch around the greens, particularly with strong winds likely to add another layer of difficulty at the Batangas layout.

“Focus ko talaga short game kasi it is very important sa Summit Point, lalo na pag malakas yung hangin,” Bisera said.

The 54-hole event will also test the players’ ability to get off to a fast start and remain composed down the stretch.

Bisera, however, is not expecting another runaway victory like the one she enjoyed at Pradera Verde.

“I really want to win pero lahat kami nag-prepare for this tournament,” she said. “But I will try my best to perform well para may confidence going to Korea.”

She will face a strong challenge from reigning Order of Merit champion Sarah Ababa, along with former leg winners Mafy Singson, Tiffany Lee, Chihiro Ikeda and Princess Superal.

Korean challenger Kim Seoyun is also expected to contend, while Martina Miñoza, Pamela Mariano, Velinda Castil, Rev Alcantara, Angela Mangana and Gretchen Villacencio add further depth to the field.
