Kop tied for low round with Junior Agpaoa with a 4-under-par 67. The former University of Hawaii golfer has won the Manoa Cup four times; the latest in 1998.

There will be 16 golfers left after today's first- and second-round matches. Other top local golfers who shot under par were Damien Victorino (69), Jonathan Ota (69), Kellen-Floyd Asao (70) and Norman-Ganin Asao (70).
