PRINCESS Superal stayed in hot pursuit of the prime jewel, fending off their threats with a poise and class of a seasoned big-league campaigner to capture the Asia Pacific Cup individual crown with a gem of a finish in Jakarta on Saturday.

She actually delivered the big Saturday punch early — a three-birdie blitz from No. 2 that knocked her three rivals with a combined five major championships — world no. 4 Lydia Ko, no. 8 Hyo Joo Kim and no. 46 So Yeon Ryu — off the title chase and left them scrounging for the crumbs of a runner-up finish at the softened Pondok Indah course.
