Layne Morita, of Kapa‘a, a junior on the Chaminade University men’s golf team, continues to lead the way for the Silverswords, who only recently added the necessary fourth player to compete in Pac West and dual-meet team categories.
On Tuesday, Morita shot a one-over 73 to take first place among individuals in a dual meet against Hawai‘i Pacific University at the Kane‘ohe Klipper Golf Course on O‘ahu.
HPU took the team crown.
Earlier this season, he also took first-place honors at the Brigham Young University-Hawai‘i Invite, shooting an even-par 72 at the Turtle Bay Fazio Course on O‘ahu’s North Shore.
Earlier this month, he shot a two-over 74 on the Fazio course, good for second among individuals, in a four-school match claimed by BYU-Hawai‘i. The Chaminade team was fourth, with the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo second, and HPU third.
He shot a 74 at the ‘Ewa Beach Course to place second among individuals at the HPU Invite, and is on the road this weekend with his teammates for the Pac West Championship in Brentwood, Calif. The tournament runs from Sunday to Tuesday.
