Dougherty targets Singapore recovery

NICK DOUGHERTY is hoping he can handle being the hunter as the defence of his OSIM Singapore Masters was thrown into doubt after round two.

A double bogey on the par three 17th left the Liverpudlian seething after seemingly playing his way to within a shot or two of the pace, then being set by Prayad Marksaeng.

The Thai, though, then took a triple bogey at the troublesome 17th and handed the overnight lead to local favourite, Mardan Mamat, at nine under.
