Justin Quiban produced a stirring 10-stroke turnaround with a scorching seven-under 65 yesterday, catching Michael Bibat at the helm in a day of changing fortunes halfway through the rich ICTSI Riviera Challenge at the Aoki course in General Trias, Cavite. He did stumble with a couple of bogeys but the two-time champion in PGT Asia at Luisita in 2017 and in PGT Bacolod in 2018 negated them with six more birdies on Nos. 14, 17, 1, 3, 6 and 8 as he found his rhythm and touch lacking in his error-filled opening three-over card to move on top with Bibat at four-under 140. Miguel Tabuena checked a wobbly backside 37 with two birdies at the front, breaking par 71 and moving to joint fifth at 144. While Quiban regained nearly everything to seize control, Rates lost his, including the momentum of his three-birdie feat in the last five holes in the first round.
