That’s why they call them Chargers.

Pearl City High seniors Colby Takushi and Schyler Murakami shot a sizzling 6-under-par 28 on Ted Makalena’s back nine Sunday to win the sixth annual Hawaii State Golf Association Four-Ball Championship.

Their six back-nine birdies gave Takushi and Murakami a 10-under-par 61 in the final round. Their two-day total of 128 beat first-round leaders Jared Sawada and John Oda by a shot.

That shot came in the midst of six birdies in seven holes to open the back nine for Takushi and Murakami, who were 4 down at the turn. The Chargers parred the final two holes.

Back in the final group, Sawada and Oda — who shared 11th at last month’s Hawaii Pearl Open — were relentlessly hitting good shots into the gusty wind. That wind, however, kept them from hitting it close, and they couldn’t convert until Oda hit it within 6 feet on the par-3 17th.

Their only other back-nine birdie came on the par-5 10th, where Sawada two-putted. They birdied all three par-5s Sunday, after settling for pars in Saturday’s 63.

That and bogey on the 15th kept them out of the playoff, along with two tenacious and suddenly scorching PCHS seniors.

Takushi also two-putted No. 10 for birdie and Murakami drained a 10-footer on the next hole to get them to 10 under for the tournament.

"We were just trying to go as low as we could," Murakami said.

"Get it to double digits," Takushi added.

Takushi, who closed with a 68 to win his age group at the Michelle Wie Hawaii State Junior Golf Association Tournament of Champions in December, stuffed it inside 2 feet on the 13th.

He chipped in from 15 yards out on the next hole, then watched Murakami bury birdie putts from just inside 15 feet at Nos. 15 and 16.

When they came in with their 128, they figured they had a chance. They also figured Sawada, who played for the University of Hawaii, and Oda, the reigning state high school champion, who will defend his state amateur title in two weeks, were the ones with the best shot at beating them.

Both A and B flights finished with first-place ties, decided by matching scorecards (from No. 18 back).

Donn Suzuki and Quinn Nguyen shot 69—140 and claimed the A flight scorecard match over Fred Denault and Gerald Sur (69—140). It was Suzuki’s second Four-Ball win.

Howard Hamada and Brad Kaneshiro birdied the 17th to win the B flight over Glenn Hasebe and Carlton Chun. Both teams finished at 78—149.
