The University of Hawai'i men's golf team continues its fall schedule this week at the inaugural Tall City Classic, running Monday, Oct. 12, and Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Midland Country Club in Midland, Texas.
Hosted by the University of Wyoming, the brand-new tournament brings Division I collegiate golf to the Permian Basin for the first time. The two-day event features a 54-hole layout with 36 holes played on Monday and the final 18 holes concluding on Tuesday.
The Rainbow Warriors will compete in a 12-team field that includes East Texas A&M, Midland College, Missouri-Kansas City, New Mexico State, Northern Colorado, Odessa College, Tarleton State, UT Arlington, UT Permian Basin, Weber State, and host Wyoming.
UH's starting lineup for the week includes
Campbell Kerr,
Troy Gadalla,
Dane Watanabe,
Josh Hayashida, and
Alec Hilgers. In addition to the five-man lineup,
Cameron Combado makes the trip to Texas to compete as an individual.
Hawai'i is looking to build momentum after opening their 2026-27 campaign last month at the CDA National Reserve Invitational in Idaho. The 'Bows finished tied for 13th in the 16-team field, paced by a top-25 finish from Kerr (T-24th) and a strong collegiate debut from Gadalla (T-34th).
Following the Tall City Classic, Hawai'i will return home to close out its fall schedule by hosting the Ka'anapali Classic by OUTRIGGER, scheduled for Oct. 26-28 and the Pearl at Kalauao Invitational, Nov. 4-5.
