Hot finish puts Singson on brink of pro breakthrough

DAVAO, Philippines: Mafy Singson moved a step closer to clinching her maiden professional victory at home, unleashing a stunning finish to salvage a 72 and wrest a two-stroke lead over Sarah Ababa after two rounds of the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour Apo Golf Classic here Wednesday.

Unable to check her skid in breezy conditions at the Apo course, Singson turned a four-over card after 12 holes with a late burst of four birdies, spiked by a three-string feat from No. 13 that propelled her to the top at 145.
