Hawaii’s Kengo Aoshima, Malia Nam and Mariel Galdiano are among the 100 college golfers chosen to compete in the 2019 Arnold Palmer Cup, June 7-9 at The Alotian Club in Oklahoma.

Aoshima, an ‘Iolani alum born in Japan, is playing for the International team while Nam (Kaiser) and Galdiano (Punahou) are on the United States team.

Aoshima is a redshirt freshman on the Wake Forest golf team, which advanced to match play (final eight) for the first time by finishing third in stroke play at this week’s NCAA men’s championship. He had five top-10 finishes this season as the Deacons won five tournaments — the most in 35 years.

Nam was named a second-team WGCA All-American in her first year at USC. She helped the Women of Troy win seven tournaments — finishing top 12 individually eight times — and reached match play at last week’s NCAA women’s championship.

Galdiano, who won three individual state high school championships, was named WGCA All-America honorable mention for the second time, after claiming second-team honors last year. She got her first two collegiate victories this season.

The Arnold Palmer Cup is an annual Ryder Cup-style competition. It was co-founded by Arnold Palmer and the Golf Coaches Association of America in 1997. The U.S. team leads the series, 12-9-1.

Since its inception, more than 100 Arnold Palmer Cup alumni have earned cards on either the PGA Tour, European Tour or LPGA.
