Prom Meesawat clings to 1-shot lead

Prom Meesawat carded a gutsy 73 in morning play to stay in control then watched three rivals grab a piece of the lead and a horde of others pull within and fall later in wicked conditions halfway through the 100th Solaire Philippine Open in Sta. Rosa, Laguna on Thursday.

Such is the drama and thrill on a day when the winds picked up and blew from different directions in the afternoon and a slew of names crowded Meesawat on top until the stocky Thai found himself all alone at 143 after another punishing round at The Country Club.
