Hendry takes lead in Q-School

Mike Hendry moved into first in yesterday’s third round of the PGA Tour Q-School First Stage, at Turtle Bay’s Palmer Course.

Hendry, from New Zealand, shot a 4-under-par 68 to move to 10-under 206 going into this morning’s final round. He is coming off a victory in the $1 million Indonesian Open, a OneAisa Tour event. Hendry was first in the New Zealand PGA’s Order of Merit (money list) last year and is currently first for this year.

Australian Luke Hickmott (67–208) is next, followed by Alan Wagner (70–210), from Argentina and Ryan Posey (73–210), from Dallas.

The top 10 and ties in the 35-man field advance to Second Stage.

Former University of Hawaii golfers Pierre-Henri Soero (72–215) and Jarett Hamamoto (71–216) are 13th and 14th. Tony Finau (70–214), who represents Turtle Bay, is ninth.

Chan Kim, the 2006 Hawaii state high school champion, jumped up to 16th yesterday at the First Stage in Beaumont, Calif. Kim, who now lives in Arizona, fired a 2-under-par 70 at Oak Valley Golf Club and is at 147 after two rounds.

The top 22 and ties from the 74-man field advance after tomorrow’s final round.

Viloria returns to ring

Former IBF and WBC light flyweight champion Brian Viloria returns to the ring next Friday in the Philippines to continue his quest for a third world title.

Viloria (27-3, 15 KOs) will take on Thailand’s Liempetch Sor Veerapol (19-7-1, 12 KOs) at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Philippines.

The former Waipahu resident is the WBO’s No. 1-ranked challenger at 112 pounds, and an impressive victory over Veerapol should earn him a title shot against champion Julio Cesar Miranda in early 2011.

Friday’s fight is Viloria’s second at 112 pounds since losing the IBF light flyweight title to Carlos Tamara in January. Viloria beat Omar Soto by split decision in July.

Seasider women clinch title

Natalie Cude, Natasha Aiono and Kim Michaletti scored in the second half to lead the Brigham Young-Hawaii women’s soccer team to a 3-0 win over UH-Hilo yesterday in Hilo.

The Seasiders (13-0-2, 11-0-1 PacWest) outshot the Vulcans (6-8-1, 5-6) 12-6 and clinched the second conference title in three years.

» The UH-Hilo men’s team beat BYUH 4-1 on goals from Gabe Kallen-Brown, David Garcia, Gene Okamura and Christian Soto.

The Vulcans improved to 6-6-2, 5-4-2 in the PacWest, while the Seasiders fell to 3-10-1 and 2-9-1.

Geoghegan, Fattoumy take titles

Honolulu triathletes Mark Geoghegan and Fouad "Ed" Fattoumy won amateur world titles at last Sunday’s XTERRA World Championship off-road triathlon on Maui

The 47-year-old Geoghegan won the men’s 45-49 age group and was the fastest Hawaii competitor in the field of 550 (3 hours, 26 seconds). He is the first Hawaii competitor since 2007 to win an amateur age-group XTERRA World Championship and also one of four triathletes from Hawaii to complete the double-double: the Ford Ironman Championship on the Big Island Oct. 9 and the XTERRA.

The others who finished the Hawaiian Airlines Double were Eric Kollai, Nicholas Kaiser and Stephen DeWald.

Fattoumy won the physically challenged division for the fourth time in his career, finishing in 3:44:08. The top female from Hawaii was Laurel Dudley of Waialua, who was fourth in the 30-34 age group, finishing in 3:35:04.

Everyday athlete

» Lorenn Walker, 58
» Triathlete
» Workout: Something every day, including a one-hour daily run and 40-minute swim several times weekly. Also mountain biking, surfing and windsurfing.

Attorney, public health educator and author. That’s Lorenn Walker’s personal work triathlon.

But the longtime Waialua resident prefers the triathlons that take place outdoors, particularly the XTERRA off-road championship. Walker was 367th in last Sunday’s event on Maui — third in her age group — when completing her 12th XTERRA in 4 hours, 19 minutes and 44 seconds.

"It’s such a fun race," she said. "We often get complacent with training so you’ve got to have stuff to look forward to, like this race.

"You get to ride where you don’t normally ride, see Molokini. … It’s my favorite race."

Walker originally came to Hawaii to surf. She branched out to other sports, winning the Hawaii state women’s windsurfing championship in 1999 at age 47. After finishing her first Ironman at age 50, Walker became the first female over 40 to do "The Double".

The former state deputy attorney general believes in healthy eating (bakes own organic bread, touts quinoa) and LSD (long, slow distance) training. Walker’s been working with former triathlete John Henderson, who was left a paraplegic after being hit by a tour bus while cycling in 2008.

"I’m stoked to train harder for 2011," she said. "We’re primates, we’re supposed to move. That’s why I do something every day."

The title of her book says it all: "Aging with Strength."
