Salvador was delighted to tie Els for third place for his best outing of the year, with a cheque of US$45,200 securing his Tour card for 2014 after starting the week in 73rd place on the Order of Merit.

"I saved many pars and had a good putting day. My driving was a little wild but my irons helped me save a lot of pars. I’m happy that I’ve saved my card for next year. It feels good to be tied with Ernie. He’s a superstar," said the Filipino.

Hong Kong’s Timothy Tang opened up with back-to-back rounds of 72 to make the cut before stumbling over the weekend to finish in 69th place.
