Two perfect seasons came to a close at the Lamkin Invitational. After winning all four tournaments in the fall, No. 1 Stanford lost to San Jose State by three strokes in a cold and rainy final round at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
Similarly, top-ranked Rose Zhang, who won all three events she competed in as a freshman for the Cardinal last fall, shot 75 to lose her first college tournament to teammate Rachel Heck, last year’s College Player of the Year.
It was a statement victory for San Jose State, who had four players finish in the top 15. The Spartans came into the spring season ranked 13th by Golfweek. San Jose State’s final-round 293 bested the field by six strokes. Arizona State finished third, 11 strokes back.
