Senator Joel Villanueva congratulated Yuka Saso for her win at the 76th U.S. Women’s Open golf championship at the Olympic Club in San Francisco recently, saying the fellow “Bulakenyo” has not only earned the country honor, but also provided Filipinos the much-needed inspiration during a very difficult time.
“I congratulate my fellow Bulakenyo for winning the prestigious US Women’s Open,” Villanueva, the Senate labor committee chair, said.
Saso, only 19 years old, is the first Filipino – and the youngest ever – to win the U.S. Women’s Open.
“Binibining Yuka Saso’s feat is doubly impressive, as the first Filipino and the youngest ever to triumph in one of the world’s toughest tournaments,” the veteran legislator added.
“This win is a welcome development to a country still fighting the ill effects of the pandemic.”
