LANIKAI — The team title for the John A. Burns Challenge Cup had already been decided with four matches to go, the pros winning for the third year in a row.

But neither Philip Chun nor Tadd Fujikawa was giving an inch in their singles match, the 12th and final of the day, at the Mid-Pacific Country Club.

Chun, a 41-year-old pro, tried his best to salvage a halve with Fujikawa, who was 1 up going into the par-4 18th hole. It's bad enough losing to an amateur, but to a 14-year-old? To the youngest golfer ever to play in the 33-year history of the Governor's Cup?

"I've got to win this hole," said Chun, who then barely missed his 20-foot birdie try as he and Fujikawa got on in regulation. Chun then picked up Fujikawa's ball, conceding the hole.

"I want to be like Tadd when I grow up," said Chun as he walked off the green. "He's a solid player, just awesome. I'd put him up against Michelle (Wie) any day."

Fujikawa, a 5-foot-1 freshman at Moanalua High School, went unbeaten in the two-day Ryder Cup-like format, teaming with Chris Souza to win their four-ball and alternate-shot matches Monday.

It was another eye-opening performance for Fujikawa, just back from Sea Island, Ga., where he reached the finals of the AJGA Polo Junior Golf Classic before losing to Californian Jamie Lovemark, a two-time Rolex junior All-American.

"I felt like I proved a lot. I didn't expect to do this well," Fujikawa said about his performances in the AJGA event and the Governor's Cup.

Now, he'll try to become possibly the youngest to qualify for a PGA Tour event at the Sony Open in Hawai'i when the 12 amateurs on this year's Governor's Cup team will play for an exempt spot Dec. 12 at the Waialae Country Club.

Chun likes the youngster's chances and Fujikawa, who won't be 15 until next Jan. 8, likes the 12-1 odds.

Jonathan Ota of Kaua'i also went 3-0 for the amateurs, but the pros proved too much by taking seven of the matches yesterday for a 15-9 victory.

Jerry Mullen, Joe Phengsavath, Norman-Ganin Asao, Kevin Carll, Lance Taketa, Matt Pakkala and Kirk Nelson won for the pros yesterday.

The pros now lead the series, 22-10, with one tie in 1983.
