37th GOVERNOR JOHN A. BURNS
GOLF CHALLENGE CUP, 2009-
Mid-Pacific Country
Club, November 23 & 24. Defending champions Amateurs.
11.15.2009--
Lanikai, Oahu -
Mid-Pacific Country Club will host the 2009 Governor John A. Burns Golf
Challenge Cup from November 23-24, 2009. Tee times are from 7:00am on
both days.
The Governor's Cup
is Hawaii's version of the Ryder Cup, contested between the top twelve
professionals and amateurs in the State. Teams are selected on the basis
of outstanding performances in designated tournaments throughout the
year. The first day's format includes two 18-hole team matches, a Four
Ball Match (Best Ball) and a Foursome Match (Scotch). Individual matches
will make up the final day's format.
This event honors
the memory of the late Governor of Hawaii, John A. Burns, who was a strong
leader and supporter of golf. Gov. Burns was inducted into the Hawaii
Golf Hall of Fame during its inaugural year in 1988 for his efforts in
bringing the prestigious Canada Cup (World Cup) Matches and the Hawaiian
Open here to Hawaii.
The Professional
team is stacked with top professionals such as Past Section Player of the
Year Ron Castillo Jr. and John Lynch, and Senior Player of the Year Lance
Taketa. All of the top Amateurs are scheduled to appear including point
leader Ryan Perez who won the Army Invitational, Lorens Chan who won the
OCC Invitational and State Stroke Play Championship, and T.J. Kua who won
the Manoa Cup and Barbers Point Invitational.
Last year, the
Amateur team won its twelfth and second consecutive win over the
Professional team by 1 point (12.5 to 11.5). The Amateurs have only won
against the Professionals 11 other times with one tie back in 1983 during
its 36-year history. This is the 37th year this event will be
held. The rosters for this year's teams are:

In her 66th LPGA tournament -

30-yard sand shot to one foot on the 72nd hole for birdie. Wie joins six
other Rolex First-Time Winners this season and is the fifth American
winner on Tour this season.
"It feels, it sounds cliché,
but it feels awesome," Wie said. "Fantastic actually. For sure, it's
definitely (a monkey) off my back. I think that hopefully life will be a
lot better, but I still have a lot of work to do."
"It's just so awesome," Wie
said after accepting the $220,000 first-place check. "The fans here, it
was deafening, the cheers and everything, it just felt so good. It was a
