Taiwan aces brace for Summit Point test

DT

Three of Taiwan’s top four players, led by No. 2 Min Lee, headline a powerhouse Taiwanese contingent primed to test its mettle against the region’s best in the ICTSI Philippine Ladies Masters unfolding on Wednesday at the Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa City, Batangas.

Carrying the banner of the Taiwan Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, the US-based Lee, a former LPGA Tour campaigner, will be joined by No. 3 Chin-Min Chen and No. 4 Ching Huang as they spearhead a strong international assault against elite contenders from the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT) and the Asia Golf Leaders Forum in the $200,000 championship.

Lee arrives in peak form and confidence following a victory at the WPG Ladies Open and a joint runner-up finish at the Kendra Tire TLPGA Open. But while momentum is on her side, the Taiwanese ace knows that success at Summit Point will require far more than solid stats and sharp swings.

Joining her in the spotlight, Chen and Huang bring consistency, composure and big-tournament experience — qualities that have long defined Taiwan’s rise as a force in women’s golf. Sixteen other TLPGA regulars are also in the field, including No. 7 Han-Hsuan Yu, underscoring Taiwan’s depth and intent to dominate what looms as one of the most competitive fields assembled this season.

However, the road to glory will be anything but straightforward.

Summit Point presents a stern and cerebral test, demanding precision, patience and fearless decision-making. The par-72 layout challenges players not only to strike the ball well but to think their way around hazards, undulating greens and ever-shifting risk-reward scenarios.
