KAPOLEI, O‘ahu – Senior Jane Chin rewrote the UC Irvine women’s golf record book on her way to winning the 10th Annual Kent Youel Invitational at the Kapolei Golf Course.

Chin shot a final round 69 to capture medalist honors with a tournament record 203 (68-66-69), nine shots ahead of San Francisco’s Christina Stockton. It is Chin’s third consecutive tournament title, becoming the first UCI player to win three straight individual events. Chin’s 54-hole total of 203 is a school record as was the 36-hole score of 134. Her second round 66 matches the school record held by teammate Patty Chawalitmetha.

As a team, the Anteaters rallied with the low score of the day (290), but ended up tied for second with San Jose State with a score of 878, 11 shots shy of team champion San Francisco (867).

UCI’s 54-hole total of 878 ties the school record set in 2005 at the Spartan Invitational.

Junior Patty Chawalitmetha shot a 70 on the final round and moved up to 21st place with a score of 223 (78-75-70). Freshman Joy Trotter was 24th with a two-day total of 224 (72-76-76) while freshman Lalita Patipaksiri finished 36 after carding a 228 (78-75-75). Sophomore Hillary Packard was 62nd with a score of 238 (82-76-80).

The UC Irvine team wore pink uniforms Wednesday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

This was the final tournament of the fall for the Anteaters. UCI will return to action at the Lady Aztec Invitational Feb. 15-17 at the Salt Creek Golf Course.
