Ryan Kuroiwa did an awesome job at the Homecare and Hospice First Tee Open at Pebble Beach this past weekend.  Ryan played the first two days with PGA professional Isao Aoki but they fell short of making the cut.

The final round of the Homecare and Hospice First Tee Open was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links – All 78 pros and the leading 22 juniors along with the top ten amateur teams participated.

But Ryan took advantage of another opportunity to show his game when the next low 28 amateur teams & 56 juniors who missed the cut were given the opportunity to play in the Core Values Cup at Del Monte Golf Course.  Ryan was paired with teammate Natalie Bodnar of First Tee Tri-Valley and won the competition!

Congratulations Ryan…..great job representing Hawaii and the HSJGA!  Star-Advertiser – Read a short article on Ryan here!
