Toyama, Wise qualify for 'Big I' golf nationals

Travis Toyama of Kaneohe and Lehua Wise of Lihue earned the state's berths in the National "Big I" Junior Championship last week.

Toyama, an incoming senior at University High, shot a 3-under-par 69 to claim the boys berth at the qualifying tournament held at the Hawaii Prince Golf Course. Wise, a recent Kauai graduate, carded a 67 to clinch the girls berth.

Toyama and Wise move on to play in the 35th annual national tournament set for Aug. 11-15 at the Olde York Country Club in Columbus, N.J. Their trip will be funded by the Hawaii chapter of the Independent Insurance Agents Association.

Michelle Wie was extended an exemption by the national committee. But she turned down the invitation due to a conflict with another tournament. She is scheduled to compete in the LPGA's Jamie Farr Kroger Classic that week.
