4th Annual Sacramento Valley Women’s Amateur Championship 

Muggy skies and 100 degree temperatures couldn’t stop this electric 2-day women’s golf competition.

As this women’s tournament continues to grow each year, this year kicked off with a field of 61 players. 

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.  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!
