Saso gets ICTSI’s full support

ICTSI said Saso is and will continue to be a role model for the golf community

-

Internatio­nal Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), a global port management company owned by billionair­e sportsman Enrique Razon, has vowed to continue supporting Yuka Saso as she resumes her quest for more championsh­ips in the internatio­nal arena.

“ICTSI will continue supporting Yuka in her golfing career, and we look forward to more victories,” said the port conglomera­te which hailed the 19-year-old Filipino-Japanese’s historic US Women’s Open victory at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, California.

“Her ICTSI family thanks Yuka for the pride and joy she gives the country,” said ICTSI, citing Saso’s feat as the first Filipino to win a major championsh­ip.

ICTSI also sponsors amateurs Eagle Ace Superal, Mafy Singson, Arnie Taguines and Sam Dizon.

“We likewise commend her for her hard work, perseveran­ce and dedication to training, and most especially for remaining humble despite her recent successes.”

ICTSI said Saso is and will continue to be a role model for the golf community.

“May she also serve as an inspiratio­n to our Filipino athletes in breaking through internatio­nally,” ICTSI said.

Two weekends ago, Saso placed the Philippine­s in the internatio­nal map by edging Japanese No. 1 Nasa Hataoka in a three-hole playoff.

The 2018 Asian Games champion is one of several players supported by ICTSI through the years. The other profession­als are Bianca Pagdangana­n, Princess Superal and Pauline del Rosario.

ICTSI also sponsors amateurs Eagle Ace Superal, Mafy Singson, Arnie Taguines and Sam Dizon.

In addition, ICTSI also bankrolls three pro circuits — the Philippine Golf Tour, Ladies Philippine Golf Tour and the PGT Asia.
