The Hawaiian Telcom Hall of Fame Championship, the Aloha Section PGA's second major of the season, will be played Sunday and Monday at Kapalua's Plantation Course.

Mauna Kea's Kevin Hayashi has won the last two titles and will return in search of a three-peat over a field of 54 pros. The winner receives $2,500 and a roundtrip from Delta Air Lines, as well as points toward Player of the Year and Governor's Cup.

Dugal Milne will defend his senior title, and Ron Castillo will defend in the Super Senior Division. All four of Castillo's sons — Mike, Rick, Joey and Ron Jr. — will also play, along with Hawai'i Golf Hall of Famers David Ishii and Larry Stubblefield.

Players tee off from 6:40 a.m. Sunday. Final round is Monday. There is a Pro-Am Saturday.
