Kim, Gunderson capture Francis Brown Four-Ball title

Robert Kim and Colby Gunderson put a swift end to a tournament full of long matches, defeating Isaac Jaffurs and Stephen Cable, 5 and 4, Sunday to win the 68th Francis Brown Four Ball.

The team event was played the last two weekends at Ala Wai Municipal. It is run by the Hawaii State Golf Association.

Kim and Gunderson, seeded seventh, reached the final with a pair of 1-up victories and a 3-and-2 win in the quarterfinals. Jaffurs and Cable, seeded eighth, went to the 18th hole in all three of their matches.

That theme ended early Sunday. Cable and Jaffurs went 1-up with birdie at the par-3 fifth, but Kim and Gunderson won the next four holes. They shot 30 on the front nine in the best-ball format, won the 11th and 13th and closed it out with par on the next hole.

Phil Anamizu and Carl Ho captured the Senior title, beating Scott Ichimura and Mike Kawate, 3 and 2. Eddie Morales and Craig Watanabe took A Flight, 7 and 6, over Lance Migita and Kelly Harada. Leighton Uyeda and Glenn Maeda won the B Flight, 6 and 4, over Alexander Chung and Mel Komatsu.
