Lua, Carpio seize command in Intercollegiate Tour finals

MANILA, Philippines —  La Salle-1’s Julia Lua and UP-1’s Emilio Carpio set the stage for a potential sweep of the inaugural ICTSI Intercollegiate Tour yesterday at the Summit Point Golf and Country Club in Lipa, Batangas.

Battling a rain-softened course, Lua put up an 85 to grab a commanding eight-shot lead in the women’s individual play and anchor La Salle-1 to the team competition lead with a 179.

Meanwhile, Carpio carded an even-par 72 for a one-shot lead over Sean Granada of CSB-1 in men’s play.

La Salle-1’s Zachary Castro and Miguel Fusilero both turned in 75s to tie for third, while Ranz Balay-odao (University of the Cordilleras) and UP-1’s Miggy Roque fired 76s.
