ASIAN TOUR NEWS RELEASE

MANILLA: Local favourite Elmer Salvador banked on home comforts by firing a five-under-par 66 to grab sole possession of the third-round lead at the inaugural US$60,000 Riviera Classic today.

A two-time Asian Development Tour (ADT) winner, the 44-year-old produced the day’s lowest score to move atop the leaderboard with his three-day total eight-under-par 205 at the Riviera Golf and Country Club in the Philippines.

Thailand’s Pavit Tangkamolprasert stepped up his chase for his second ADT win by returning with another 67 to share second place with Philippines’ Robert Pactolerin.
