Dan Cruz, a former Tour hotshot now playing sparingly in competitive events after undergoing a heart bypass several years ago, conspired with another national training pool member Jerson Balasabas for a 74.
Elmer Salvador and Jovi Neri had the best score of 76 among the seeded squads.
Pagunsan and weekend player Jaime Tan was at 77 while Cassius Casas and Benjie Senining was another two strokes further back at 79.
