GOLF ROUNDUP : Ishii Keeps Hawaiian Title Home

David Ishii needed only a round of par 72 to score a one-stroke victory in the Hawaiian Open at Honolulu Sunday.

Ishii, 34, a native of Honolulu who plays most of his golf on the Japanese tour, became only the second Hawaiian winner in the 25-year history of the event. The late Ted Makalena won the second Hawaiian Open in 1966.

Hubert Green took himself out of contention Sunday with a late triple bogey. Craig Stadler missed six consecutive short putts.

“I didn’t win it,” Ishii said. “I shot par and everyone else let me have it.”

Ishii won $180,000 from the purse of $1 million. His 279 total was nine under par on the Waialae Country Club course, which often yields some of the lowest scores on the American tour.

Mike Hill shot a two-under-par 70 and held off a challenge by Lee Trevino to win the Suncoast tournament in Tampa, Fla., his first senior victory.

Hill, 51, of Brooklyn, Mich., earned $67,500 from the $450,000 purse to push his career earnings to more than $1 million.

“It’s always special to beat someone like Lee,” Hill said. “He’s a great player and he’s really going to help our tour.”

Trevino closed with a 69 to finish second at 209, two strokes behind Hill. Ben Smith was at 211, tied for third with first-round co-leader Larry Mowry.
