University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa men’s golfer Blaze Akana was named to the All-Big West first team.
Akana led the team with a 71.67 scoring average which is the second-lowest in program history behind Matthew Kodama’s 71.50 average in 2003-04. Akana was already ranked No. 2 after averaging 72.37 strokes per round last season, his first as a Rainbow Warrior after transferring from Sacramento State.
Akana is the first UH golfer to earn first-team all-conference honors since T.J. Kua was named to the all-Western Athletic Conference first team in 2012. Since UH joined to the Big West in 2012, no other Rainbow Warrior had earned first team honors.
He posted two Top 10 finishes this season and concluded his UH career with a final round 5-under 67 to tie for 18th at the Big West Championship. He posted a team-best 12 rounds under par including six in the 60s.
