Waiakea junior Kaley Saludares showed that she can play with the state’s best golfers and hang out in their neighborhood at the HHSAA tournament at Kaanapali Resort on Maui.
On Tuesday, Saludares shot a 6-over 77 for a two-day 156 total, six strokes behind Punahou senior Claire Choi, who beat Maui High’s Thereese Guzman in a one-hole playoff for the state championship.
Guzman was a first-round leader with Iolani junior Kamie Hamda, who tumbled to 12th after she shot 85.
Punahou pulled off something of a miracle rally, overcoming a 10-shot deficit and capturing the team title by a single stroke over Iolani, 479-480.
