Bianca Armanini of Wailuku hits an approach shot on the Kaanapali Kai Course’s 17th hole during Friday’s first round of the Aloha Section Junior PGA Championship. Armanini carded a 74, leaving her tied for third place in the girls 13-18 division with Marissa Uradomo of Kula and Oahu’s Hansol Koo. Oahu’s Mariel Galdiano, who played in last year’s U.S. Women’s Open as a 13-year-old, led with a 66. Makawao’s Joy Callinan and Oahu’s Millburn Ho shared the girls 7-10 lead after rounds of 80. The other leaders were from Oahu — Moanalua High School student John Oda (65), who last month won the state prep title, in boys 13-18, Evan Kawai (75) in boys 11-12, Jacob Torres (77) in boys 8-10 and Aneka Seumanutafa (76) in girls 11-12.
