Waiakea graduate Min secures publinx berth

Tribune-Herald

Former Waiakea High School golfer Ciera Min shot a 6-over-par 78 in a U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links sectional qualifier on Saturday on Kauai.

Min finished runner-up to medalist Allisen Corpuz of Honolulu and both qualified for the amateur publinx, scheduled June 17-22 in Norman, Okla. Corpuz fired a 4-over 76 on the Poipu Bay Golf Course to take the top spot.

For Min, the two-time Big Island Interscholastic Federation champion, it is the second time she has qualified for the national tournament. She also did it in 2011.

Min will attend Gonzaga University on a golf scholarship in the fall.
