Chan, an ‘Iolani graduate headed to UCLA on a golf scholarship, shared the lead after an opening-round 70. He was one back going into the third round and fired a 6-over-par 76 Thursday, for a total of 219.
Kim, a Boise State senior out of Wailuku, shot 71 to move into the Top 10 at 221. He is tied with Fink, who was in second place at the turn Thursday, but played the back nine in 6-over and shot a 75.
Fink, another ‘Iolani graduate who is about to start his senior year at Oregon State, was part of the winning Morse Cup team. The competition is held the first two rounds of the Pacific Coast Amateur. Fink, Matt Rawitzer and Carl Johnson made up the Pacific Northwest Golf Association team, which shot 291 to win by a shot over Washington.
