Campbell sophomore Rudy Cabalar, who just won the state high school golf championship, vies for the Hickam Invitational title beginning tomorrow at the Māmala Bay Golf Course.

Cabalar will be joined in Championship Flight by Seung Jae Maeng and Tyler Ota, who won last weekend's Francis Brown Four-Ball Championship, along with Lorens Chan, Mike Kawate and Brandan Kop.

Cabalar was second to Matthew Ma at Hickam last year, barely missing a 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have forced a playoff.

The tournament also has A, B, Senior and Super Senior flights.
