PORTLAND, Oregon – Led by Andrea Lee's program-setting ninth career individual title, Stanford rolled to a dominant 26-stroke victory at The Molly Intercollegiate on Tuesday afternoon. Lee, who broke a tie with Mhairi McKay for the program record, finished 6-under for the win. She was followed up by freshman Angelina Ye, whose 4-under placed her second, while fellow senior Albane Valenzuela finished third at 2-under. The Cardinal shot a 7-under 281 on Tuesday to finish the tournament with a 4-under 860.
"This was a dominant victory and I'm very proud of our seniors right there at the top of the leaderboard for taking charge," said Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf Anne Walker.
1. Andrea Lee (-6, 71-69-70)
Broke Mhairi McKay's school record with her ninth career win … was 2-under on the day to finish the tournament at 6-under … increased her lead with birdies on the first two holes and another one on No. 5 … gave one back with a bogey on seven … played the back nine at even-par to hold her lead and set the new program mark.
"No words can describe Andrea's impact on the Stanford Golf program," Walker said. "She has broken almost every record in the book and it's hard to ever imagine another player coming close to matching her feat anytime soon."
"It's such a huge honor to be able to set the program's record for career wins," Lee said after her ninth career victory. "It has definitely been a goal of mine this year, and to accomplish it feels incredible. This is such a special start to the season, clinching both the individual and team victories, and I can't wait to see what's in store for us the rest of the season. Winning The Molly is very special, knowing that the tournament is named after such an inspirational golfer, friend and mother. It was one of the most well-run events I've played in my collegiate career and I hope it continues to be held in the future."
