<\/p>\nDas Krishnan remained cool and collected amidst the scorching hot weather enroute to winning the Fil-Taga Golfers Association\u2019s July tournament held last July 22 at the Laolao Bay Golf & Resort east course.<\/p>\n
The 69-year-old Banquet and Events director at Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan shot a net score of 72 after dropping twin 41s in the front and back nine for a gross score of 82.<\/p>\n
The 10-handicapper said he was just trying to survive last Sunday due to the less-than-ideal conditions during the July tourney.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe weather was hot and windy and the course was well maintained but the green unpredictable with different grass.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said his best hole was the par-4 No. 13 par where his second shot using a 5-iron on the green made birdie.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just blew my mind and it was awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n
As for his worst hole, Krishnan said it was No. 17. \u201cMy drive from the tee box was bad and went into the sand bunker. I then hit a bad shot from the bunker and had to two-putt for double bogey. It hurt me trying to hold the fort.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then dedicated his July tourney win to his loving wife Alice Law. \u201cBecause she has no questions whenever I go golfing on the weekend. She just supports me 99%.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joining Krishnan in the Top 3 were Ronnie Santos with his net 72, but lost to Krishnan on a scorecard tiebreak, and Dan Ganacias, who beat Adony Matutino on another scorecard tiebreak, with his net 73.<\/p>\n
A total of 13 Fil-Taga members took part in the July tourney and they are as follows, with their net scores in parenthesis: Freddie Cataluna (74), Ed Varias (76), Ruben Avendano (77), Romy Cayetano (78), Mike Cruz (79), Jess Yumul (80), Antonio Tabnornil (81), Jhun Cayetano (82), and Felix Ano (gross 107)<\/p>\n
In the par 3 competition, Santos, Matutino, and Yumul took the plum, with no takers on hole No. 11.<\/p>\n
