Quiban opens PGT Bacolod title defense

MURCIA, Negros Occidental — Defending champion Justin Quiban vows to be on attack right from the get-go as the ICTSI Bacolod Golf Challenge tees off Wednesday at the short, tree-lined layout formerly known as Binitin Golf Club here.

Quiban banked on three solid rounds to rule this event last year, and the rising star playing out of Manila Southwoods is upbeat of duplicating that performance and sustaining it to the finish for the second straight year.

“I feel good about my chances to defend my title here,” said Quiban, who bared a game plan of taking driver out of the bag more often over the par-70 layout.

“I’ll use my driver more here to attack the reachable par-4s. I played a conservative game last week [in Cebu] but now it will be the opposite.”
