Princess Superal

Princess Superal fired a one-under-par 71 on Friday to take the individual division lead over New Zealand’s Lydia Ko and help the Philippines blow into team play contention after Pauline del Rosario assembled a 70 in the Asia Pacific Cup at Pondok Indah Golf Course in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Together with a flawless first round 66, Superal will take a 137 aggregate into the final round where she hopes to hold off Ko, the world No. 4, who returned a 72 in soft conditions.

“We’ll just do what we have been doing in the first two days and hopefully, we’ll be able to shoot under-par again [and] have a chance [to win],” said Superal, whose partnership with del Rosario dates back to their amateur days, the last in the Queen Sirikit Cup in Korea in 2016.

With a second consecutive 141, Team PH has a 282 total, just three behind Team South Korea 2, which slowed down with a 147. Team Korea 1 tallied 138 to be two shots behind.
