Chaminade Wins Hawaii Tri-Match and Awards

Silversword Dale Swartwood is the Player of the Week for the second time after winning out over his island rivals. Chaminade takes the team title by nine strokes.

There was just one tournament last week, on Oahu where Chaminade defeated their two island rivals to take the tri-meet. Silversword freshman Dale Swartwood won the tournament and his second PacWest Player of the Week honor with a two-round score of -5.

Player of the Week: Chaminade’s Dale Swartwood, Fr., 6-2, San Diego                                                             
Chaminade’s Dale Swartwood won the Hawaii Collegiate Tri-Match with a two-round score of -5 at the Pearl of Kalauao last weekend. Swartwood, playing in just his second collegiate tournament, shot a scorching 66 on the first day and a 73 on a tougher wind-blown second day. He had seven birdies and just one bogey to get to his 66 and had four birdies and nothing higher than a bogey in the tougher second round. In his two collegiate matches, the San Diego native has finished third (RCA Electric) and now first.
