Final LPGA Korea Prep at Summit Point

The Final Test Before Korea
Yvon Bisera stands at a major turning point in her career. She has secured two victories in the first four legs of the season, placing her firmly in the title hunt on the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, per reports.com. Now, the focus shifts entirely to the ICTSI Summit Point Championship. Before her debut on the demanding Korean LPGA Tour later this month, this event functions as her ultimate home test rather than a mere tournament. The stakes are high. She needs to prove her game holds up under pressure before facing international competition. On Tuesday, September 8, the P1-million championship begins at the Summit Point Golf and Country Club located in Lipa City, Batangas. This is the last chance to refine her strategy before the grueling challenge abroad.

Sharpening the Short Game
Bisera knows that a repeat of her previous runaway performances is unlikely. According to reports, she secured a dominant seven-shot victory at the Pradera Verde Championship last July and defeated two opponents in a playoff to win the Lakewood Championship in March.com. However, the conditions in Korea will be different. The Davaoeña has spent additional time refining her short-game touch around the greens while awaiting her Korean visa documents. She is not relying on long drives alone. Between tournaments, Bisera has focused on perfecting the short game, which she considers potentially decisive for her performance at Summit Point. She understands that wind can be a factor. “Focus ko talaga short game kasi it is very important sa Summit Point, lalo na pag malakas yung hangin,” said Bisera. This specific focus on the short game is a direct response to the wind conditions she expects to face. She acknowledges that everyone is ready. “I really want to win pero lahat kami nag-prepare for this tournament,” she added. Her goal is clear. “I want to perform well at Summit Point kasi preparation ko din ‘to going to Korea,” she stated. She knows that confidence is key. “But I will try my best to perform well para may confidence going to Korea” The 2025 Thailand LPGA Masters champion is treating this week as a dress rehearsal for the real thing.
The Korean LPGA Tour is known for its difficulty, and Bisera’s approach shows a mature understanding of the game. Many players rush to compete abroad without testing their specific skills on similar turf. Bisera is taking a calculated risk by prioritizing the short game over raw power. The wind at Summit Point mimics the conditions often found on the Daebudo Island course. If she can control her ball in the air and around the greens here, she will be better prepared for the Hana Financial Group Championship. This event takes place from Sept. 17-20 in Gyeonggi Province. It is a significant step up in competition. The ability to adapt quickly is what separates good players from great ones. By focusing on the short game now, she is building a foundation that could carry her through the entire season in Korea. It is a smart move for a player who has already shown she can win big at home.
Next Up: The Hana Financial Group Championship
The clock is ticking on Bisera’s preparation. Once the ICTSI Summit Point Championship concludes, she will pack her bags for her first overseas challenge. The Hana Financial Group Championship is scheduled for Sept. 17-20 in Gyeonggi Province, on Daebudo Island southwest of Seoul.
