Coral Springs, Fla. • December 12, 2025
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Ein Kim capped a composed and methodical week at Eagle Trace Golf Club with a championship performance, winning the 2025 Dixie Women’s Amateur at 12-under-par 276. The Irvine, Calif., native separated herself through consistency rather than flash, posting rounds of 70-68-69-69 to claim a two-shot victory in one of the strongest women’s amateur fields of the winter.
Kim positioned herself early with a steady opening round and moved into firm control with a second-round 68. As conditions grew firmer and pressure mounted over the final two rounds, she never relinquished her advantage, answering every challenge with patient decision-making and precise iron play on a layout that punishes impatience.
The closest threat came from Scarlett Schremmer of Birmingham, Ala., who surged up the leaderboard with a final-round 66 to finish solo second at 10-under 278. Despite the late charge, Kim’s steady closing stretch — highlighted by clean pars and timely birdies — ensured the outcome was never fully in doubt.

How the championship was decided
Eagle Trace once again proved to be a complete examination of a player’s game. While early rounds offered scoring chances, firm greens, crosswinds, and demanding approach shots prevented anyone from pulling away comfortably. Kim’s ability to avoid mistakes and accept pars proved decisive over 72 holes.
Her back-to-back 69s over the final two rounds kept the pressure squarely on the chasing pack, even as Schremmer and others attempted to close the gap. In the end, Kim’s steady execution and poise under pressure defined the championship.
