Dorothy Delasin (born August 26, 1980) is a Filipino-American professional golfer who played on the LPGA Tour.

Early life and amateur career

In 1980, Delasin was born in Lubbock, Texas. She grew up in San Francisco, California, where, as a student at Washington High, she won the boys' golf championship (the girls didn't have teams, so Delasin competed against the boys).[1]

She had dual American and Filipino citizenship but gave it up sometime before 1999.[2] Delasin won both the 1996 U.S. Girls' Junior and the 1999 U.S. Women's Amateur.

Professional career

Delasin has four career LPGA titles including the 2001 Samsung World Championship.[3][4]

On January 20, 2008, Delasin and Jennifer Rosales of Team Philippines won the 4th Women's World Cup of Golf in Sun City, South Africa, with birdies on the last four holes. The duo had a final round of 7-under-par 65 in the best ball, for a 54-hole aggregate of 18-under-par 198. South Korea's Ji-Yai Shin and Eun Hee Ji were second on 200 after a final round 67.[5]
