Tribune-Herald Athlete of the Week: UHH golfer Jared Kinoshita

The UH-Hilo senior is the second Vulcans golfer to be honored in this space after Dalen Yamauchi, which is apropos since Kinoshita also followed in Yamauchi’s footsteps by winning the Dennis Rose Intercollegiate.

Kinoshita did it in record fashion, carding a 65 in the first round en route to an 11-under 205 to lead UHH to the team title.
