Quiban climbs to joint fourth as Song extends Philippine Open lead
Minhyuk Song shot a five-under 65 in the third round, while Sean Ramos moved into a share of sixth with a bogey-free performance.
Justin Quiban moved from joint-18th to a tie for fourth at the Philippine Open on November 14, but Korea’s Minhyuk Song extended his lead heading into the final round at Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club in Carmona, Cavite.
Song followed his 10-under second round with a five-under 65, taking his three-round total to 195. He recorded six birdies and a single bogey, at the par-four 11th.
Speaking through a translator, Song said he had tried to repeat his previous round’s 10-under score but was happy with his performance.
Quiban finished on 204 alongside Thailand’s Sarut Vongchaisit. He said the wind had eased compared with the earlier rounds, although players faced longer second shots.
Sarit Suwannarut held second place at eight-under par, followed by Korea’s Jeongwoo Ham at seven-under.
Sean Ramos made six birdies without a bogey to join five other players in sixth at five-under par. His opening rounds were a four-over 74 and a three-under 67. Ramos said a change to his swing had helped.
Lloyd Go was the only other Filipino below par, tied for 18th on two-under 208. Carl Jano Corpus returned a one-under 69 to reach even par and a share of 32nd.
