Hawaii juniors place ninth

Hawaii finished ninth yesterday in the 36th Eddie Hogan Cup Team Matches at the Riverside Country Club in Portland, Ore.

Southern California won the two-day tournament with a 436 total, four strokes better than the No. 1 Oregon team.

The 36-hole even pits the best junior golfers from the Western United States and Canada against each other in a team format with the three low scores each day determining the team total.

Hawaii carded a 455. Representing the 50th State were Travis Toyama (77-72--149) of Kaneohe, Chad Nonaka (77-76--153) of Lihue, Kellen Watabu (75-78--153) of Kapaa and Bret Netzer (78-80--158) of Kapaa.
