Abe Avena rode on a solid backside stint to fire a two-under 70 and post a four-stroke lead over Rolly Viray at the start of the Seniors Open of the 2016 Philippine Senior and Mid-Amateur Open Championship at Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa City, Batangas on Wednesday.

Avena checked a roller-coaster ride of three birdies and three bogeys at the front with birdies on No. 12 and 13 as he strung up a 36-34 to take charge in the centerpiece division of the annual event sponsored by MVP Sports Foundation, hosted by Summit Point and organized and conducted by the National Golf Association of the Philippines.
