David Fink found his golf game in time to capture a second straight Manoa Cup last month. The ‘Iolani graduate remains on a roll.

Fink set a course record and earned medalist honors Monday at the 110th Pacific Northwest Men’s Amateur Championship, in Bend, Ore. Eight birdies gave Fink a 5-under-par 67, the competitive course record at Tetherow Golf Club.

Fink tied Oregon State teammate Matt Rawitzer at 7-under 137 for the two-day qualifying, then birdied the first playoff hole to earn the No. 1 seed. Fink’s drive missed the fairway, but his approach hit the flagstick.

Fink won his first-round match Tuesday, 3 and 1, over Tyler Parker of Portland. Fink lost the sixth to fall 1 down, but played the final 12 holes in 1 over and did not lose another hole.

Makawao’s Alex Chiarella also won his first round match, 5 and 4, over Oregon’s Tyler Simpson. Chiarella won seven of the last nine holes.

The second and third rounds are today.
