Punahou School junior Stephanie Kono shot an even-par 72 yesterday to win the Joanne Winter Arizona Silver Belle Championship at Karsten Golf Course in Tempe, Ariz.

Kono, who shared the lead with former Big Island resident Kimberly Kim after two rounds, had two birdies and two bogeys on the 6,153-yard course. She finished at 2-under-par 214 to beat Kim and Shiu Yin Liu of Tualatin, Ore., by two shots in the tournament for females between the ages of 13 and 23.

Kono, 17, and Kim, 15, were tied after 13 holes, but Kim bogeyed three consecutive holes to give Kono the advantage. Both birdied the 495-yard, par-5 17th hole and parred the 368-yard par-4 18th.

Kim, who now lives in Arizona, bogeyed her first three holes but rallied with birdies on the fifth, seventh and eighth holes. She finished with four birdies and six bogeys.

Other Hawai'i golfers in the 112-player field were Kim's older sister, Christine, who tied for 15th after shooting 76—225, Pearl City's Mari Chun (tied for 19th, 74—226), Kahului's Elyse Okada (tied for 27th, 78—228), Wailuku's Kelly Nakashima (tied for 27th, 74—228), Honolulu's Kristina Merkle (tied for 45th, 74—233), and Honolulu's Katie Sisler (tied for 100th, 82—253).
