The 2025 Seneca Course Championship wrapped up this afternoon, with Chris Okeson claiming the title with a convincing finish and confident performance.
Okeson fired a final round 2-under par 70 to post a two-day total of 3-under par 141, a score good enough to hold off a talented and competitive field by three shots.
The final round featured a battle with Ian Morgan, who put the pressure on with a 3-under par 33 front nine. But a birdie by Okeson at 11 and three straight bogeys by Morgan at 12-14 sealed the win for Okeson.
Additionally, seven players earned qualification into the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship in August: Ian Morgan, Mike Simpson, Allen Freeman, Austin Jenkins, Devon Goldberg, Tommy Miano, and Joe Collins.
