Ishii wins Senior qualifier

Ishii snagged that with a 5-footer for par — after a brilliant bunker shot — on the second playoff hole. Davis, whose birdie putt to win on the first playoff hole fell into the cup and popped back out, is first alternate. Both blew through breezy Waialae in 2-under-par 70 yesterday.
Dan Nishimoto is second alternate after shooting a 75. Phil Anamizu was low amateur at 77.
Only 13 of the 35 golfers — 30 from Hawai'i, four from Japan and one from California — broke 80 on a day when the wind was a wicked 25 mph, or gusting to 30 mph. The qualifier was played from the blue (back) tees at 7,125 yards and the pins were plotted straight off the placement sheet from the final round of the Sony Open in Hawai'i.
