Hawai‘i Jr. Golf 9 of 12 at Hogan Cup golf

The Hawai‘i State Jr. Golf Association’s team of Travis Toyama, Kellen Watabu, Bret Netzer, and Chad Nonaka placed 9 out of 12 in the 36th Eddie Hogan Memorial Cup held at riverside Golf and Country Club in Portland, Oregon.

Led by Toyama (77-72), the Hawai‘i team finished 229-226-455 as compared with the top finishing Southern California team that carded a total 436, four strokes better than number two Oregon #1 team who carded in at 440.

Nonaka followed Toyama, finishing at 153 (77-76) followed by Watabu at 153 (75-78), and Netzer at 158 (78-80).

Being selected to compete in Hogan Cup matches is an honor bestowed to few individuals, and the excellence of past participants is indicative of the quality of the small, select field. Hogan Cup alumni include PGA Tour players such as Fred Couples, Scott Simpson, robert Gamez, Kirk Triplett, Peter Jacobsen, Chris Riley, and Tiger Woods who took the individual champion in 1990.

The Hogan cup is one of four national team events in which the HSJGA participates. The others include the Boys and Girls Junior Americas Cup and the Mary Cave Cup. The team selection is based upon the HSJGA’s 2004 tournament point standings.
