Ah Chong ousted Honolulu’s Toby Baladad, Marshall Kim Jr., the top seed, and Jake Sequin, the reigning HHSAA champion, each time by winning a 19th hole, en route to reaching the title match at Ka`anapali on Maui.
Ah Chong tried to rally Sunday on the back nine in the final before falling to Oahu’s Noah Koshi 2 and 1.
