ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -The University of Hawai`i Warrior golf team wrapped up their second competition of the week with a 16th place finish out of the 19 team field at the 2004 William H. Tucker Invitational. The Warriors shot 302 on the final day to finish with a three-round total of 903 on the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course.

The top Warrior finisher was sophomore Pierre-Henri Soero, who ended the day tied for 62nd with a 10-over-par, three-round total of 226. Junior transfer Jarett Hamamoto finished behind Soero with an 11-over 227, which landed him in a tie for 64th. Other Warrior golfers were Kellen-Floyd Asao (229, +13), freshman Ryan Perez (237, +21) and sophomore Cody Wolfenbarger (DQ), who suffered a first round disqualification from individual play, but was allowed to have his second and third round scores counted toward the overall team total.

UNLV's Ryan Moore fired an incredible seven-under 65 in the final round to sneak ahead of New Mexico's Spencer Levin and claim the individual title.
