/ 11:30 PM September 06, 2012

HONG KONG—Cyna Rodriguez birdied No. 18 to salvage a 1-over-par 72 and tie a faltering Sarah Ababa at the helm even as Jayvie Agojo closed in on the leaders with a solid 69 in the second round of the Hong Kong Ladies Amateur Open at the Discovery Bay Golf Club here yesterday.

Rodriguez hit three birdies but fumbled with four bogeys in another windy day at the Diamond and Jade courses for a 72 that tied her with Ababa (74) at 140.

After turning in a five-under 66 Wednesday, Ababa struggled with bogeys on Nos. 9, 13 and 17 to pave the way for a wide open battle for the crown in today’s final round.
