Nakashima finishes in tie for fourth
WAILUA, Kauai - Baldwin's Kelly Nakashima saved her best round for her final appearance in the David S. Ishii Foundation Girls State Golf Championships at Wailua Golf Course on Thursday.
The senior fired a 76 to finish the two-day event with a 153, good enough to tie for fourth. Nakashima, who had the fourth-lowest round on Thursday, received the sixth-place medal as the tie was broken by the scorecards.
''I could have done better,'' Nakashima said. ''I missed two really short putts that I could have made and finished tied for third. I was disappointed in that but other than that, I'm glad I finished really high in my last state tournament.''
Nakashima carded a 77 on Wednesday in the first round and was four shots off the lead in eighth place.
She got off to a good start on Thursday, shooting a 37 on the front nine.
''My game was pretty steady until the back nine,'' Nakashima said. ''I had one pretty bad hole where I had a double bogey.''
Nakashima finished the second nine in 39.
''I thought I would finish fifth when I finished,'' she said. ''I didn't think that one of the girls would drop so much.''
Britney Choy of Leilehua won the individual title with a 147, carding the lowest round of the day on Thursday with a 74. Mari Chun of Kamehameha, who was tied with Choy for the first-round lead with a 73, shot an 80 to finish tied for fourth with Nakashima, Whitney Ueno of Hilo and Miki Ueoka of Kauai.
Kauai captured the team title a 460. Waiakea was second at 472. Baldwin took fifth at 494.
Jayna Shimomura was the next Baldwin golfer at 166. The other Baldwin scores included Kelli Nakano at 175, Kaitlen Miyajima at 176, Mari Miyamoto at 179 and Michelle Horikawa at 194.
Jenna Felechner of Lahainaluna finished with a 174 while teammate Breena Troy had a 194.
