MANILA, Philippines -- Filipina golfers Yuka Saso and Bianca Pagdanganan have officially sealed their spots in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

Saso, the reigning U.S. Women's Open champion, ranked ninth in the final edition of the Olympic Golf Ranking.

Pagdanganan also made the cut, coming in at 42nd despite a subpar performance in the Women's PGA Championship recently.

Saso and Pagdanganan were teammates in the 2018 Asian Games, where they brought home the gold for the Philippines. Saso won individual gold and Pagdanganan added a bronze.
