Junior sensation Asterisk Talley starts 2025 with more silverware after winning Annika Sorenstam-hosted event

Asterisk Talley emerged victorious at the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational. The Chowchilla, California native, carded in rounds of 68 to total 9-under-par-204 and take home the win.

The Annika Sorenstam-hosted event marked Talley's fifth American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) win. Set to graduate from Chowchilla Union High School in 2027, the young golfer has solidified her position as No. 1 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings with a whopping 784.250 points earned in 8 events played.

Talley beared a two-stroke lead over the Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational defending champion Natalie Yen heading into the final round. The junior golfer began her final round at the Heathrow Country Club with an impressive seven consecutive pars.

The challenging golf course's par 5 8th hole and par 4 10th hole saw Talley card in birdies and solidify her lead. She ended the tournament with three consistent rounds of 68 each. After posting an incredible bogey-free final round, she expressed her gratitude to LPGA Tour legend Annika Sorenstam and also shared a piece of wisdom.

The 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational winner said (via Annika Foundation):

"I learned from Annika that golf doesn't define us as people. We can go home after a tournament and learn from my game each week. If I played well, I can learn about what I did to make myself play well."
