It is his first win at the Wakonda Club in a tournament he has played in since 2016.

Kjeldsen was involved in a playoff in just his second start on the tour since turning 50.

Kjeldsen started the final day seven strokes back but roared into a tie with nine-under par 63.

2016 champion Scott McCarron made a final day charge with a seven under-65. He finished 13-under par.

McCarron has battle injury the past few years and it was his best finish of the season.

Southwest Valley Girls Tennis Finishes 2025 Season

Sports

May 31st, 2025 by Christian Adams

The Southwest Valley Girls Tennis season has come to a close. The Timberwolves were able to win four dual competitions this spring and finished second in a tournament at Saydel as well. Head Coach Steve McGrew says the dual wins were very meaningful not only for this year’s team but the program as a whole.

The Timberwolves will graduate two seniors in Maddie Bevington and Natalia Zimmerman. Statistically, the duo were the top players for Southwest Valley this year.

There were no juniors on this roster, meaning everyone on the roster has at least two years to go.

Southwest Valley will have more experience heading into the fall and look to improve heading into next season.

Ames withdrew after the third round of last week’s Senior PGA Championship at Congressional near Washington.
