KAILUA-KONA, Hawai'i – The University of Hawai'i women's golf team sits in 10th place after completing a 36 holes on Monday to open the Nanea Invitational at the Nanea Golf Club.
Originally scheduled as a three-day event with 18 holes played each day, the tournament was adjusted due to inclement weather in the forecast. The field played two continuous rounds on Monday and will conclude the event with the final 18 holes on Tuesday.
