[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…"Showed the greatness of the Philippines."

This is the cheer from the Philippines' boxing hero Manny Pacquiao. It is about Yuka Saso (Philippines) winning the major US Women's Open as a 19-year-old non-member. On the 8th (Korean time), he posted on his social media, "Yuka Saso, you have shown the greatness of the Philippines to the world by becoming the youngest champion at the prestigious US Women's Open," expressing his joy. He continued, "Along with all the people of the Philippines, I also congratulate you on your victory," and wrote, "We are truly proud of you."

Saso defeated Nasa Hataoka (Japan) in a playoff at the US Women's Open of the LPGA Tour, held at The Olympic Golf Course in San Francisco, California, USA, the previous day. She tied the record for the youngest winner ever (19 years, 11 months, 17 days), previously set by Park In-bee (33, KB Financial Group) in 2008. She swept both the individual and team events at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and rose as the Cinderella of the LPGA Tour with her US Women's Open victory.
