The 18-year-old Arabejo ruled the men's 200m backstroke event last night by clocking 2 minutes, 5.82 seconds, edging out two Singaporeans --- Zach Ong (2:08.17) and Marcus Cheah (2:09.32).

Arabejo registered 50m splits of 30.43, 31.77, 32.19 and 31.43 at the His Majesty the King's 80 th Anniversary pool.

Pagunsan shares
lead in Bangkok

BANGKOK – Bacoleño Juvic Pagunsan is into the joint halfway lead with Australian Scott Hend at the season-ending Volvo Masters of Asia on Friday.

The sweet-swinging Pagunsan, whose confidence skyrocketed after claiming a breakthrough victory in Indonesia in October, fired a near flawless seven-under-par 65 while Hend enjoyed a welcome return to form with a 67 in the $750,000 event.

Pagunsan wielded a hot putter at Thai Country Club, needing only 22 putts en route to eight birdies. His lone blemish came at the closing 18th hole when he missed the green.
