Two-time Manoa Cup champion Travis Toyama ran into a roadblock on his way to a third yesterday. Edward Stenftenagel, who just finished his sophomore season at University of Redlands, ousted Toyama, 4 and 3, in the second round at Oahu Country Club.

Stenftenagel, from Indiana, is seeded second after earning medalist honors Monday. He helped Redlands to a runner-up finish in the 2006 NCAA Division III nationals. Toyama will be a senior at the University of Hawai'i in the fall. He helped the Rainbows to their best Western Athletic Conference finish in history this season. They finished second to Nevada, by a shot, with Toyama taking fifth individually.

Jonathan Ota continued his quest to defend his championship, edging Patrick Silva, 1-up. Lorens Chan, 13, also moved on with a 2-and-1 victory over eighth-seeded Kyle Trenholm Jr.

It was a rare upset as third-seeded Doug Williams, fourth-seeded Ryan Perez — the 2004 Manoa Cup champion — and fifth-seeded Erick Ellgren all advanced, along with seventh-seeded David Fink. Four-time champion Brandan Kop moved into today's Round of 16 with a 2-and-1 win over Christian Akau.

Today's matches begin at 7 a.m., as do tomorrow's quarterfinals. The semifinals are tomorrow afternoon. The 36-hole final of the 99th annual Manoa Cup starts at 7 a.m. Saturday.
