USC’s Chloe Kim closed with 72 to win by one at 3-under, with UCLA junior Jennifer Seo finishing runner-up at 2-under

Chloe Kim, a freshman at USC from Montebello, Calif., shot 3-under 213 to win by one after rounds of 69-72-72.

Kim entered the final round with a one-shot lead at 3-under 141, with Jennifer Seo close behind at 2-under 142 — and that margin held to the finish.
Seo, a junior at UCLA from Chandler, AZ, closed with a 72 to finish runner-up at 2-under 214, posting rounds of 71-71-72.

Irene Kim, from Columbia, MD, who has signed a letter of intent with Pepperdine, finished third at 1-over 217. Alexis Vakasiuola, a freshman at Grand Canyon from San Tan Valley, AZ, placed fourth at 2-over 218, while Gianna Singh of Elk Grove, Calif., also committed to Grand Canyon, rounded out the top five at 3-over 219.

The event drew a field of 57 top college golfers, and only Kim and Seo finished the 54-hole tournament under par.

The win continues a strong run for Kim, who played six events in 2025, winning twice — the FCG Western States Players Cup in February and the Cactus Collegiate — while adding two more top-10 finishes.
