Stanford women finish 19 shots clear for third straight home golf title

Stanford women’s golf finished the job Sunday, Oct. 18, winning the Stanford Intercollegiate by 19 strokes for its third consecutive title at its home tournament.

According to Stanford’s final-round report, the Cardinal posted a final-round 280, four under par, to finish at 824 and 28 under. Virginia was second at nine under, while USC took third at seven under.

Stanford had established its advantage with rounds of 271 and 273. Its closing round extended the margin over Virginia rather than giving the chasing field a way back into contention.

The individual leaderboard also reflected the home team’s depth: Stanford occupied the top two positions and had four golfers among the top six, including an individual entrant.

Stanford’s remaining fall event is the Nanea Invitational in Hawai‘i, scheduled for Oct. 26–28.
