MANILA — Chris Banchero has etched his name in the PBA record books.

The Meralco Bolts star became the first player in the league to convert a four-point shot as they officially implemented the ruling in its Season 49 opening game between Meralco and the Magnolia Hotshots on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Banchero hit the shot at the 10:26 mark of the second quarter to overtake the Hotshots, 20-17, after trailing by four prior to that shot. 

In the first period, his teammate Chris Newsome was the first to attempt the four-pointer.
