Kelly Sim, the two-time Tournament of Champions winner, put together an amazing round in the North Jersey Girls’ Golf Sectional, to claim individual honors with a 6-under par 65 at the Stanton Ridge Golf and Country Club on Tuesday.

Sim’s round included eight birdies to help her team advance to the May 29 TOC at the Royce Brook Golf Club.

Pingry (320) came through with an expected to claim the team title, followed by Ridge (348), Holy Angels (358) and Northern Highlands (367) to move onto the TOC.

Sim, who won the TOC in 2015 and 2016, started her round at the difficult par-4 10th hole with a bogey, failing to get up and down from the sand. But it was all good news from there. Sim followed with birdies on the 11th (5 feet), 13th (9 feet) and 14th (4 feet), then 3-putted the 16th to post a one-under 34.

“The key to my round was hitting fairways and having a good number of short birdie opportunities,” said Sim, who will attend Northwestern on a golf scholarship in the fall. “My iron play was spot on and it was reflected in my score.”

The front nine was even better as the Edgewater resident posted five birdies for a 31 total. The included the 2nd (12 feet), third (21feet), sixth (3 feet), 8th (2 putt par 5) and 9th (6 feet).

Defending TOC champion Ami Gianchandani of Pingry finished at 2-over par 73, placing third behind sophomore Yoona Kim (72) of Immaculate Heart.
