Superal sizzles as the finish, nears 2nd straight crown



Princess Superal sizzled coming off a one-hour delay due to lightning and thunderstorms, hitting three birdies in the last seven holes to fire a two-under 70 and grab a two-stroke lead over Chihiro Ikeda as erstwhile leader Daniella Uy floundered in the second round of the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Ladies Classic on Thurday in General Trias,Cavite.

Superal came out smoking in tough conditions after the break, overcoming a one-over card with birdies on Nos. 13, 15 and 17 to wrest control as Ikeda wavered at the finish in the flight ahead. The multi-titled campaigner then came though with a superb pitch shot after overshooting the No. 1 green, banging in a par from three feet to preserve a 37-33 round.
