The Ladies Philippine Golf Tour kick-starts its new season in the most riveting fashion – pitting two LPGA Tour veterans and Taiwan's No. 1 in the first round of the $100,000 Anvaya Cove Ladies International beginning on Wednesday in Morong, Bataan.

In a sprint race, this being a 54-hole championship, every shot counts and PK Kongkraphan and Ya-Chun Chang have stressed the need for ball control on a well-kept, risk-and-reward Anvaya Cove course and local ace Bianca Pagdanganan expects to produce no less than stellar play while ranged against the best in the fold.
