SAMMAMISH, Wash. - Stanford's women's golf team finished third at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational Wednesday, persevering through inclement weather at Sahalee Golf Course to card a final round 298 after earlier rounds of 299 and 308 (905, +41). Though early-morning fog forced tournament organizers to implement a 10 a.m. shotgun start, the Cardinal was unaffected by the delay, posting the day's low score.

Sally Watson tied for second to lead the Cardinal. The senior carded rounds of 72-74-71 (217, +1) in her first action of the season, including five birdies on the final day. Watson finished in the top-five in par-3 scoring, par-5 scoring and birdies.

"We had a great team effert, and as a result were able to shoot the lowest round of the day," said Margot and Mitch Milias Director of Women's Golf Anne Walker. "This was a terrific event for Sally. She played smart and handled herself extraordinarily well. It was impressive to watch."

Freshman Mariah Stackhouse recovered from a second round 78 with an even-par final round to finish tied for eighth (73-78-72, 223, +7). The freshman from Riverdale, Ga. ranked in the top-10 in birdies and pars made for the tournament.

"Mariah really came through for us this week," said Walker. "She is a tremendous player and has already grown in the past couple weeks. I saw her hit some shots today that were tour quality."

Mariko Tumangan tied for 28th after rounds of 79-77-78 (234, +18).

Freshman Lauren Kim finished 40th, carding rounds of 80-79-77 (236, +20).

The Cardinal returns home to host the Stanford Intercollegiate, October 19-21.
