Granada rises at Splendido

College of St. Benilde’s Sean Granada rose to the occasion on a rain-soaked Sunday, July 27, showcasing nerves of steel and sharp course management to clinch individual honors in Round 2 of the ICTSI Intercollegiate Tour at the wind-raked Splendido Taal Golf Club.

Confronted with relentless rain and a course reshaped by recent weather, Granada displayed remarkable patience and mental toughness. Despite a grinding four-bogey stretch over the first 15 holes, the CSB standout held his composure and surged late, draining a clutch 30-foot birdie on the par-4 16th to highlight a gutsy round of 75 (38-37). His effort earned him a three-stroke victory over University of the Philippines’ Miggy Roque and Ateneo-1’s Schmuel Tan, who both carded 78s.
