Ham in the van; Bhullar moves to tied third

Jeongwoo Ham of South Korea built on the early momentum to retain his top spot, while India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar moved to tied-third after a timely recovery in the Singapore Open second round at the par-71 Sentosa Golf Club Serapong course here on Friday.

Ham, one of two overnight toppers, carded three-under 68 to be the sole leader at the halfway mark with a two-stroke cushion (10-under 132). After a sedate start on the front nine, the Korean managed three birdies – on holes 10, 12 and 18 – while bogeying on par-four hole 15, an act which did not prove costly in the end.
