Hume homes in on leader

Barry Hume moved to within a stroke of second-round leader Jyoti Randhawa at the Clariden Leu Singapore Masters after carding a three-under-par 69.

The 25-year-old from Glasgow followed up his opening-round 65 on the Classic course by firing five birdies on the more difficult Masters course to move to 10 under.

Hume, the 2002 Scottish amateur champion, began well with three birdies on the first four holes and was 12 under after further birdies on the 15th and 16 - but a double-bogey on the par-three 17th blotted his card.

It was enough for the clubhouse lead until Randhawa signed for a 68 later in the day.

Penrith native Gary Lockerbie was tied for third place after shooting a 67 which put him on nine under, level with Malaysia's Iain Steel, whose bogey-free 65 is the best score so far this week on the Masters course.

Lockerbie and Steel are a shot ahead of Ireland's Peter Lawrie, who carded a 70, and first-round co-leader Liang Wen-Chong of China (72).

Marcus Fraser, who shared the overnight lead with Liang, struggled on the back nine and fell back to seven under.
