Muggy skies and 100 degree temperatures couldn’t stop this electric 2-day women’s golf competition.
As this womenâs tournament continues to grow each year, this year kicked off with a field of 61 players.Â
The final group was Kaylyn Noh, Sienna Lyford & Sneha Sharan.
Kaylyn Noh won the overall 1st Place with a 5-under at 139.
Kaylyn Noh was a Morton Golf Foundation College scholarship winner in 2021. Â She graduated from Rocklin High School & went on to Cal Poly to play golf her Freshman year. She then transferred on to CAL Berkeley for her Sophomore & Junior year. This fall, Kaylyn will enter her Senior year at CAL Berkeley & will graduate in 2025 with a degree in Law Studies.
Congratulations to Kaylyn and we wish her good luck in her golf & final year at CAL.
We look forward to seeing her back at this event next July to defend her 1st Place Title!

The first annual Sacramento Junior Championship was held at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex on March 28 – 31, 2024.
In the fall of 2023, two members of the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) came to Haggin Oaks to discuss with Morton Golf Foundation thoughts about hosting an AJGA junior tournament at Haggin Oaks.
Morton Golf Foundation had the vision of knowing they wanted to allow junior golfers to participate in the best competition at the most prestigious junior tour in the United States right here in Sacramento. This allowed several junior golfers in Northern California to sleep in their own bed and compete on a golf course they had competed on before. The seed was planted, and a five-year commitment contract was signed.
The first annual AJGA tournament was held at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex on the MacKenzie Golf Course on March 28 â 31, 2024. The field featured 96 juniors, ages 12-18, with a mixture of boys and girls. The excitement was overwhelming as the junior players anticipated that this tour would have college coaches looking at the players in the hope of offering college scholarships.
AJGA tournaments are played all around the United States. The AJGA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women players. The mission of the AJGA Foundation mirrors the mission of Morton Golf Foundation. When AJGA staff stepped onto the property of Haggin Oaks and began working with the Morton Golf staff it was seamless in providing a first-class event.
We are all excited for the future AJGA events at Haggin Oaks as we continue to give junior golfers their opportunity to shine.
