Maui’s Kimberlie Miyamoto won her third Waialae Women’s Invitational title in four years, capturing the 62nd annual tournament on Tuesday.
Miyamoto, who recently finished her golf career at Eastern Washington, closed with a 4-over-par 76 at Waialae Country Club. She won the overall low gross championship by a shot over Mira Han, who shot 79 both days.
Overall low net champion was Keiko Soeda, an 18-handicapper out of Mid-Pacific Country Club. Soeda shot 87 in the final round to finish with a net total of 143 – four better than anyone else.
Last week Miyamoto, who has a cumulative GPA of 3.85, was named to the Women’s Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team for the third straight year. So was EWU – and former Baldwin – teammate Kristen Ishikawa, who earned a degree in exercise science with a cumulative GPA of 3.88.
