PUA LOKE — Kelli Oride finished Saturday by dropping to Cyd Okino of Honolulu in a playoff.
But she charged back yesterday to shoot a one-under-par 71 and finish two strokes ahead of Okino to take the title in the Girls 15-18 division at the Hawai‘i State Junior Golf Association Junior Tour Series hosted by the Puakea Golf Course.
With the 145 total over 36 holes, Oride is the sole Kaua‘i golfer over a field of 57 juniors to earn a title during the two hot and humid days.
Despite these conditions, Cassy Isagawa of Wailuku, Maui, broke the white tee course record for 6,062 yards of 69 with a 68 yesterday, according to a press release from the Hawai‘i State Junior Golf Association.
Additionally, Allisen Corpuz and Mariel Galdiano of Kapolei, O‘ahu, both shot the course record of 73 from the 5,226-yard red tees to force the pair into a four-hole playoff, yesterday.
Corpuz won the playoff to claim the 36-hole tournament champion title in the 13-14 Girls division.
The HSJGA Junior Tour Series is comprised of three tournaments in two days: each day’s 18 holes will comprise one tournament and the two individual events are combined into a 36-hole tournament.
Oride (74-71-145) joined other division winners including Kristeena Lock (82-84-166) who topped the 10 & Under Girls division, Sian Rogers (76-73-149) winning the 10 & Under Boys division, Corpuz (76-73-149), the winner of the 11-12 Girls, Justin Kurihara (72-76-148), winning the 11-12 Boys division, Isagawa (70-68-138) taking the 13-14 Girls, Aaron Kunitomo topping the 13-14 Boys and Henry Park (69-74-143) winning the 15-18 Boys division.
All of the winners are eligible to compete in the Ulupalakua Ranch Tournament of Champions being played Dec. 6 at the Wailua Golf Club on Maui.
Participants in this JTS also earned points toward a spot on this year’s USA Hawai‘i-Japan Junior Cup team being held Nov. 17-19 at the Waikoloa Beach Resort – King’s Course on the Big Island.
This second annual international competition will have Hawai‘i’s top 12 boys from the 15-18 age division and the top eight girls from the 13-18 age division play against their contemporaries from Japan.
Prior to the international competition, amateur players are welcome to participate and play with the junior team members in a Junior-Amateur tournament.
Sponsorships and playing opportunities are available by contacting the HSJGA at its Web site at www.hsjga.org.
