LAGUNA, Philippines – Thrust into the solo spotlight, Pauline del Rosario embraced the challenge with steely resolve but faltered at the finish, dropping two shots over the last three holes to settle for a 71. The costly slip saw her slide to a share of sixth place, three strokes behind new leader Kim Ahyeon after 36 holes of the ICTSI Worldwide Link Philippine Ladies Masters 2025 here on Thursday.
