Tabuena gets big break
Filipino golfer Miguel Tabuena shot a bogey-free 68 in the second round of the PIF Saudi International in Riyadh, making the cut for weekend play.
Though he slipped to joint 19th at 135, Tabuena's quest for one of the two golden tickets to LIV Golf via the International Series Rankings received a significant boost as his chief rival, Yosuke Asaji, failed to make the cut.
Asaji occupied second in the IS Rankings at the start of the week, ahead of third-running Tabuena, but with Asaji out, the task is now on Tabuena to finish strong and secure the second ticket.
Per projection, Tabuena needs to place at least sixth in Riyadh to overtake the Japanese golfer at No. 2 in the final rankings.
Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe is practically assured of the first berth after firing a second straight 67 to enter the third round at joint 12th.
American Caleb Surratt continued to lead the tournament at 14-under 128 after a second-round 66.
