Granada sparkles, triumphs in the rain

MANILA, Philippines — College of St. Benilde’s Sean Granada rose to the occasion on a rain-soaked Sunday, clinching individual honors in Round 2 of the ICTSI Intercollegiate Tour at the Splendido Taal Golf Club in Laurel, Batangas.

Confronted with relentless rain and a course reshaped by recent weather, Granada 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.
