After a long dry spell, Hawaii’s golf professionals have now won the last three Gov. John A. Burns Challenge Cups. The latest came Tuesday, when they followed up a big opening day by winning seven singles matches over their amateur competitors at Mid-Pacific Country Club.

The pros’ three-peat came by a score of 15.5 to 8.5. They led 8.5 to 3.5 after Monday’s four-ball and foursome matches.

Pros Garrett Okamura, Jared Sawada, Hunter Larson and John Hearn went unbeaten over the two days. Amateurs Kolbe Irei, Isaac Jaffurs, Schyler Murakami and Remington Hirano won their singles matches Tuesday, Hirano sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th green to edge Jason Jakovac 2 and 1. Matt Ma and Andy Okita halved their matches.

The pros now lead the Cup 26-18, after losing eight in a row from 2007 to 2014. The teams tied in 1983.
