Choe recorded the two best rounds of the tournament and distanced herself from the competition. With scores of 70-68 for a total of -6, the junior from Ursuline High School was the only golfer in the field to finish under par in the two-day championship.
She won the 2025 championship by a landslide with a seven-stroke victory. Her final round of four-under was highlighted by five birdies and just one bogey on her scorecard.
Freshman Hayden Knapp from South Glens Falls High School (Competed in the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National last year) finished in solo second, posting 73-72 scores for the two days, and one-over par. Delaney Abel (Corning) claimed solo third with a score of four-over par with a first-round two-under and tied with Choe at the top of the leaderboard. Isabella OK (Goshen) shot five-over par and finished fourth, as Maria Galvin (Lasalle Institute) posted six-over par and finished fifth. Emma Lee (Scarsdale) and Maddie Oliver (Glens Falls) both finished at seven-over par and tied sixth position. Wrapping up the top ten, Caylin Wong (Great Neck H.S.) finished at eight-over par and in ninth place, and Zorah Williams (Emma Willard) at nine-over par.
