Jennie K. title up for grabs
The Jennie K. Wilson Invitational at the Mid-Pacific Country Club always attracts the best women golfers in the state.
Just take a look at the list of past winners:
Michelle Wie, Jackie Pung, Lori Castillo-Planos, Bev Kim, Cindy Flom, Lynne Winn, Jackie Yates, Ramona McGuire, Pam Kometani, Sherrie Sue, Nicole Horner, Joan Damon, Anna Umemura and Stephanie Kono, to name a few.
But with defending champion Mari Chun still away in school at Stanford, the title is up for grabs.
Bobbi Koxx, the 2000 winner, should be considered one of the top contenders for the title. Lesly Ann Komoda, a member at the MPCC who won the tournament in 1991 and '93, should also contend.
Competition will be held in six flights, from championship to E flight. The theme for the 56th annual tournament is the "Tournament of Aloha."
JENNIE K. WOMEN'S INVITATIONAL
When: Friday-Sunday
