Superal birdied the first two holes then came out of a roller-coaster stint of three birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey with back-to-back birdies from No. “I didn’t expect to lead since I’m still adjusting to the speed of the greens,” said Superal, who used to dominate the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour as an amateur and pro before moving to the Symetra Tour. 11 to seize the lead at two-under, she stumbled with back-to-back bogeys from No. Former three-time Ladies Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit winner Cyna Rodriguez and recent Forest Hills leg champion Chihiro Ikeda also bogeyed No. 16 for a 72, a stroke ahead of Thai Numa Gulyanamitta and fellow amateur Kristine Torralba, who groped for identical 73s.
