In the thrilling second round coverage of the 78th Western Intercollegiate by Golf Channel, the battleground at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California, witnessed some fierce competition among college golf's finest. Since its inception in 1947, this event has been a breeding ground for young talent, offering a platform for players to showcase their skills and gain invaluable experience on the challenging Alister MacKenzie-designed course. With the sun timidly peeking through the marine layer, temperatures hovering around 60°, and the picturesque backdrop of Santa Cruz, the stage was set for a showdown like no other.
Amidst the lush greens and treacherous bunkers, players like Mickey and Willie Walsh displayed their prowess with strategic shots and precise putts, aiming for those elusive birdie opportunities.

Nathan Wang from Stanford emerged as a formidable force, determined to make his mark and close the round on a high note. Despite some missed putts and near-misses, players like Kaden showed resilience and determination, fighting tooth and nail on the back nine. As the day drew to a close, Fioroni eyed a chance to narrow the gap and make a significant move towards the leaderboard, setting the stage for an electrifying finish on championship Wednesday. The Western Intercollegiate proved once again why it is a breeding ground for future golfing legends, where talent meets tenacity on the hallowed grounds of Pasatiempo Golf Club.
