Top amateur targets LPGT breakthrough

Two close stabs at pro glory and a week-long break she used to hone her craft should more than spur amateur Mafy Singson to finally upstaging the touring ladies when the ICTSI Riviera Ladies Challenge is fired off on Nov. 24 at the Couples course in Silang, Cavite.

The 18-year-old rising star barely missed doing the feat at Eagle Ridge-Aoki early this month, losing to Harmie Constantino by just one stroke. She figured in the title race again in brutal conditions at Tagaytay Highlands, showing the way for the pros in the first round before ending up fifth on poor decision-making.
