Superal seizes command with a 70
LIPA CITY—Princess Superal cashed in on a three-shot swing on No. 14 and turned a one-stroke deficit into a one-shot lead over South Korean Hwang Min-jeong with a two-under 70 in the second round Thursday of the ICTSI Mt. Malarayat Ladies Classic at Mt. Malarayat’s composite course here.
Superal canned in a birdie from 12 feet on the par-4 14th while Hwang holed out with a six after an errant drive and a poor approach shot as the Filipino surged ahead after trailing by two.
With a 36-hole total of 141, Superal moved closer to nailing a second leg win on the ICTSI Ladies Philippine Golf Tour after the top The Country Club bet edged reigning back-to-back Order of Merit winner Cyna Rodriguez in a playoff at Wack Wack last April.
