STANFORD, California – True freshman Angelina Ye shot a 5-under 66 on Sunday to win the 2019 Stanford Intercollegiate hosted by Dr. Condoleezza Rice. It was Ye's first career victory, after earning a runner-up finish in her first career event, The Molly Intercollegiate. As a team, the Cardinal finished second at 5-under for the weekend, despite missing seniors Andrea Lee and Albane Valenzuela, who are at Stage II of LPGA Qualifying.
"I'm thrilled for Angelina (Ye), this is really cool," said Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf Anne Walker. "We always talk about the importance of senior leadership and we knew that was going to be a big factor, but I felt like Emily (Ziyi Wang) really stepped up as that person. To watch Angelina and Aline (Krauter) be this comfortable, I think Mika (Liu) deserves a shoutout, too, for her 16th-place finish. To watch those three do that – I just believe in the youth of this team. I think it's great. Hopefully Andrea and Albane play great this week and can come back and make us more complete in the spring."

Shot a 5-under 66 to pick up her first career victory … started on the fourth hole and made five consecutive pars before a birdie on the par 4 ninth … parred the first four holes of the back nine before birdies at 14 and 16 … with the tournament in balance, made birdies at the par 5 first and par 4 second to pull away for the win … played the par 5's at -9 this weekend and was second in the field with 15 birdies.
"Winning here was definitely super special, to get my first collegiate win here at home," said Ye. "I think staying patient was probably the biggest thing for me this week. I hit it really well, but a lot of putts weren't going in so I had to stay patient through that. Just hanging in there."
