Another first start and first victory occurred this season at the Sea Island Resort Girls Classic on the Retreat Golf Course. Kate Barber (Savannah, GA 2025) began the final day with a one-shot lead over fellow Georgia native Mia Sessa (Augusta, GA 2022). The Savannah, GA, felt the pressure on the par-three seventh hole; when her ball finally dropped into the cup, a triple bogey had to be written on her scorecard. Sessa stayed within reach after nine. After the twelfth hole, it was smooth sailing for Barber, who played the final seven holes at two under par. Barber tapped in on the eighteenth to capture her first-ever PKB Girls Tour title and a three-shot victory. Taking home bronze was Sawyer Brockstedt (Rehoboth Beach, DE 2025).

By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the Tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player’s pace.
