Superal settles for 6th in Thai LPGA

Princess Superal struggled a bit with her iron game and settled for a 72 to finish sixth in the Thai LPGA Championship at the Sea Pines Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand late Friday.

The Filipino ace, who pressed her bid with a 69 in the second round, failed to set up birdie opportunities despite solid driving, missing at least four chances inside eight feet.

Superal made just one birdie on the par-3 No. 8, negated by a missed-green bogey on No. 11.

With a 72, the top ICTSI-backed bet wound up with a one-under 215 and finished five strokes behind Pimadsorn Sangkagaro, also fired a 72 to beat reigning Philippine Ladies Open titlist Supamas Sangchan by one with a 210. Sangchan ended up with a 72 for a 211.

Pro Jayvie Agojo hobbled with a 72 and finished with a 278 while ICTSI teammates Sam Martirez and Pauline del Rosario finished tied at 236 after a 77 and 80, respectively.
