Problem Statement

Let γ\gamma be circle and let PP be a point outside γ\gamma. Let PAPA and PBPB be the tangents from PP to γ\gamma (where A,BγA, B \in \gamma). A line passing through PP intersects γ\gamma at points QQ and RR. Let SS be a point on γ\gamma such that BSQRBS \parallel QR. Prove that SASA bisects QRQR.
