This week’s Sony Open in Hawaii saw a surge in local representation on Monday.

With three Hawaii players already entered, three more — John Oda, Jared Sawada and Tadd Fujikawa — claimed berths in the PGA Tour’s first full-field event of 2017 in the Monday qualifier at Hoakalei Country Club in Ewa Beach.

Oda, a Moanalua graduate and current UNLV standout, fired a hole-in-one on the par-3 seventh hole to highlight a bogey-free 6-under-par 66 that topped the field of 65 players vying for the last four spots in the Sony Open.

Sawada, a Mililani and University of Hawaii alum, carded a 31 on the back nine to finish a shot behind Oda, and Fujikawa — a decade removed from his Sony Open debut — earned a return to Waialae Country Club by surviving a six-way playoff for the final two berths.

Fujikawa nearly aced the fourth playoff hole, Hoakalei’s par-3 18th, and his birdie secured the final spot in the 144-player field. John Chin, a former UC Irvine golfer, preceded Fujikawa’s putt by rolling in a birdie from the back of the green to secure a berth.

Monday’s local qualifiers join Manoa Cup champion Brent Grant, Parker McLachlin and Kevin Hayashi in the field. Moanalua will have three entrants in Oda, Fujikawa and Grant.

“Born and raised here, grew up watching the Sony Open every year since I was young, definitely to have the local guys partake in this tournament, it’s a great honor,” said Oda, who played in his first Sony Open as a 15-year-old in 2012.

Oda was 2 under through six holes when he hit a 5-iron toward the pin on the 191-yard seventh hole.

“I’m just trying to hit a good shot obviously and it came out perfect,” Oda said of his first hole-in-one in tournament play. “I didn’t see it go in. I walked up to the green and didn’t see a ball over the green and I had a good feeling it went in.”

After tucking the ball away for safe keeping, Oda birdied No. 9 and carded another at No. 15 to build on a successful fall at UNLV that included two individual victories.

“This was one of my goals once fall concluded, and I really worked hard to get here, and to put a round together really feels good and rewarding,” Oda said. “Now I have to set my focus to playing well.”

Sawada will also make his second Sony Open appearance when the PGA Tour’s first full-field event of 2017 opens on Thursday. The 2013 Manoa Cup champion was even par at the turn, then birdied five of his next six holes and parred the last three. He played in the 2014 Sony as the Governor’s Cup amateur qualifier and turned pro shortly after.

“This is huge for me. … I wanted to do well in this tournament especially — over all the tournaments I played in the last year, the qualifier was what I was working for,” said Sawada, who went straight to Waialae to play nine holes.

Fujikawa is back for his sixth Sony and first since 2012. He electrified Waialae by making the cut at 16 in 2007. He fired a 62 in the third round in 2009 and finished 19th, his best placing in the event, in 2012.

“It’s nice to be back,” Fujikawa said. “It’s been a long journey the past few years. I’ve really, really struggled. Thought about quitting numerous times, but I’m glad I’m still at it and I’m starting to play better. My confidence is coming around, I just need to keep playing and it’ll happen.”

Fujikawa celebrated his 26th birthday on Sunday by shooting a 3-under 69 in the pre-qualifier and followed with a 68 on Monday. The score held up to get him into the playoff and five of the six parred Nos. 17 and 18.

After the group returned to 17, Fujikawa left his birdie putt 4 feet short, then drained a nervy par putt to survive. He hit hybrid off the tee on No. 18 to within 3 feet of the pin. After Chin rolled in his birdie and with the other three players facing bogey, Fujikawa tapped in to close the afternoon.

“I try not to put too much pressure on myself,” Fujikawa said. “I know I’ve been playing better. I’ve been getting some confidence, so I’m just trying to relax and play and have fun again.”

Grant, Oda’s classmate at Moanalua, won the Governor’s Cup amateur qualifier in November and Hayashi returns to Waialae as the Aloha Section PGA champion. McLachlin was awarded a sponsor’s exemption into the field.
