KAILUA KONA, Hawaii – The Stanford women’s golf team finished its fall season Tuesday at the Pac-12 Preview with a third-place finish at 7-over, its fourth top-10 finish in as many events this fall.
Stanford (291-303-289) placed two student-athletes in the top-10 among individuals and all five Cardinal performers finished in the top-50 at the event contested at the par-73 Nanea Golf Club.
Washington (-11) won the tournament with UCLA (E) taking second among the 12-team field.
“We had a really solid performance this week with everyone contributing,” said assistant coach Lauren Dobashi. “With four Pac-12 Conference programs ranked in the top-10 nationally, finishing in the top-5 is quite an accomplishment. Lauren Kim once again led our team and had a great tournament.”
Kim (74-73-70) moved up eight spots in her final round to pace the Cardinal with a fourth-place finish at 2-under. She had five birdies on the back nine of her first round, four more in her second round and used four birdies and an eagle on the par-5 sixth during her final 18.
Kim was joined in the top-10 by Mariah Stackhouse (69-77-74). Stackhouse was 4-under to begin the tournament, but stumbled by going without a birdie in her penultimate round. Stackhouse went 1-over in her final stretch to share eighth with three other players.
Casey Danielson tied for 12th with rounds of 74-75-72, rolling in 11 birdies during the 36 holes with six coming in her final round.
Shannon Aubert (74-78-76) tied for 29th at 9-over and Quirine Eijkenboom (+14) saved her best round for Tuesday with four birdies during an even-par 73.
Stanford will have a few months off before playing host to the Peg Barnard Invitational (Feb. 14-15) at Stanford Golf Course.
