Iolani High School Student Wins Individual Championship in David S. Ishii/HHSAA Girls Golf Championships

Jasmine Wong of Iolani School in Hawaii won the individual championship in the David S. Ishii/HHSAA girls golf championships, becoming the first player from the school to do so. She shot an even par 72 to secure the win, beating out Jessica Lee from Punahou by a single stroke at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course. The Raiders had previously won a team title in 2012 but had never produced an individual champion before Wong’s victory.

Wong, a senior headed to Gonzaga in the fall, finished with a 74-72-146 overall score to claim the championship. She signed with the Bulldogs in November after winning several HSJGA titles and ILH championships in 2024 and 2023. Wong faced tough competition from five other players who shot par or better on the final day of the tournament.

Despite trailing by two shots going into the 18th hole, Wong held on to win even after making a bogey on the par-3 final hole. Nicole Ikeda of Punahou had the best score of the tournament with a 2-under 70, but no player finished in the red on Day 1 of competition. Punahou went on to win their 13th girls team title with a combined score of 13-over 445 over
