Sarah Ababa dished out a career-low round of five-under 66 and took full command after 18 holes of the ICTSI Forest Hills Classic – four strokes clear of Daniella Uy and Mikha Fortuna in Cogeo on Tuesday in Antipolo.

Two birdies from pin-length high, a chip-in feat, and another couple of drained putts from the fringe highlighted Ababa's pair of 33s at the par-71 hilly Nicklaus course as the Davaoeña ace put herself on track toward ending a winless campaign since securing her first victory at Sherwood Hills way back in 2015.
