Hawai'i Golf Hall of Famer Larry Stubblefield and Oahu Country Club head pro Andrew Feldmann won the Golf Concepts/E-Z-GO 4-Ball Match Play Championship for the fifth straight year yesterday at OCC.

Stubblefield and Feldmann defeated Mike Iyoki and Ron Kia'aina Jr., 4 and 3, in the afternoon final. The champions were 1-down after bogeying the seventh hole. They won the next two with par and closed Iyoki and Kia'aina out with four birdies on the back.

The seventh was the only bogey of the tournament for Stubblefield, an OCC member, and Feldmann, who have won four consecutive team events going back to this tournament last year.

"We get along well, never get angry at each other," said Stubblefield. "He knows how I like to play and leaves me alone. He likes to talk and I'm OK with that. It just works out. It's been kinda cool."

Their streak nearly ended in Tuesday's quarterfinals, when they had to go 24 holes to beat David Chin and Rick Ambrose.

Stubblefield sank a seven-footer for birdie on the 23rd hole to extend that match. Before his putt, the hole had to be repaired after Chin's approach shot went in, but bounced off the flag and rolled 12 feet away. Feldmann and Stubblefield birdied the next hole to win it.

"The key is not to make bogeys and not play defensively," Feldmann said. "If we're both hitting fairways and greens it puts a lot of pressure on the other team."

RAINBOW WAHINE COME UP SIX SHORT

Hawai'i went into the final round of its Kent Youel Invitational with a two-stroke advantage yesterday and came out with a second-place finish at Kapolei Golf Course.

San Francisco surged ahead of the Rainbow Wahine with a final round of 10-over-par 298, finishing at 905. The 'Bows, who shot 291 in the second round, had a 306 for a 911 total.

"It was great we beat the teams we did beat and San Francisco played really well in the wind, 298 was a great score for today," said UH coach Ashley Biffle. "I'm happy. The players are all excited and pleased with the results. It will give us a boost going into the spring. Next time we'll figure out how to win the whole thing."

Hawai'i was attempting to capture its second title. It won the Lady Bronc Classic in 1996 with a team total of 984.

UH junior Xyra Suyetsugu (73-222) finished second, three shots behind medalist Lacey Jones (75-219) of SMU. Senior teammate Dale Gammie (77-227) took ninth and Lisa Kajihara (76-234) and Carolina Perez (86-234) shared 26th.

The Rainbows took fourth, fifth and second their last three events, with Gammie winning the Heather Farr Memorial.
