Amelie Zalsman broke records to claim victory at the historic 100th playing of the South Atlantic Women’s Amateur.
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. — The 100th Annual South Atlantic Women’s Amateur Championship — better known as The SALLY — concluded Saturday at Oceanside Country Club, as one of the oldest surviving amateur golf classics in the country crowned a new champion in its milestone year.
Amelie Zalsman, just 17 years old and already committed to Wake Forest University, delivered a week to remember, winning at 15-under par to set a new tournament record and break Jessica Korda’s previous mark. Zalsman closed with rounds of 71-66-64-72, holding off a proven leaderboard that featured two-time defending champion Kary Hollenbaugh (Ohio State) in second at -13 and Mia Hammond (Duke) in third at -11.
Dating back to 1926, the SALLY’s champion list has long served as a runway to the highest levels of the game — with notable alumnae including Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson, Jessica and Nelly Korda, and Ariya Jutanugarn. In addition to the Championship, Oceanside also hosts the Johannsen Senior tournament during SALLY week — a proud centerpiece of the club’s winter calendar.
Championship Division — Max Handicap Index: 6.0 • 72 holes from approximately 6,200 yards • 84-player field • Cut to 60 players for the final round.
Rockefeller Division — Max Handicap Index: 10.0 • 54 holes from approximately 5,600 yards • 12-player field.
Final results — Championship Division (72 holes complete).
The Rockefeller Division is complete after 54 holes, with Kerry Lareau capturing the title at Oceanside.

On a week that celebrated a century of championship golf at Oceanside, Zalsman authored the defining performance — a record-setting -15 that will now sit atop the SALLY’s storied history. With the Rockefeller title also secured, the 100th edition delivered a fitting finish: new names on the trophy, and another reminder of why this championship remains a proving ground year after year.
