Justin Quiban found the going a lot tougher in moving day, hobbling with a 73 after a 66 and 68 and tumbling to joint 20th after 54 holes of the Yeangder TPC, which produced a new leader in Thai Poom Saksansin in Taiwan Saturday.
After an impressive showing from tee to green that put him within two strokes off halfway leader Travis Smyth, Quiban practically struggled all day. He hit just seven fairways after missing just four in the first two rounds. He also scrambled his way to the greens, going out of regulation eight times after hitting 30-of-36 in the first 36 holes.
Micah Shin, on the other hand, fired a 67 to gain a share of sixth at 202, four strokes off Saksansin. Over in Japan, Juvic Pagunsan gunned down five birdies in the last eight holes as he charged back with a bogey-free 65 to jump to joint eighth at 12-under 204 in the third round of the Panasonic Open in Hyogo Prefecture, also Saturday.
But with Pagunsan mounting a big assault at the Ono Toyo Golf Club, the Filipino ace could be in for an explosive weekend in pursuit of a third Japan Golf Tour victory.
