Due to weather, the final round was canceled and the tournament became a 36-hole contest
Kristina Xu of Claremont, California, takes home the Fortinet Girls Invitational at Stanford title with a score of 4-under-par 138.
"It feels unreal right now," Xu said. "It feels great playing my best golf during the first two days and coming out on top. It was pretty challenging this week with the weather. Seeing all of these amazing girls playing the tournament spooked me at first, but I stuck with my mentality of just thinking of myself and taking it one shot at a time."
Due to inclement weather, the final round was canceled, and scores were finalized based on the first two rounds.
Xu led both rounds and carded seven total birdies throughout the tournament. Currently, at No. 75 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, this is Xu's first invitational victory and second AJGA win. The 2025 grad won her first AJGA event at the Golf Performance Center Killington Junior Golf Championship back in June of 2023.
"This win means a lot," Xu said. "Winning my second AJGA tournament and my first AJGA Invitational, I feel like I have a one-up on my sister now."
Amy Lee of British Columbia, Canada, Elise Lee of Irvine, Calif., and Megan Meng of Pennington, N.J., all share second place at 3-under-par 139. Meng made the match play portion of the 2023 U.S. Women's Amateur.
Tied for fifth at 1-under-par 141 are Annika Ishiyama of Costa Mesa, California, and Olivia Duan of Cupertino, California. Duan also earned low final-round honors with her second-round 67.
Angela Zhang of Bellevue, Washington, Nikki Oh of Torrance, California, and Clairey Lin of (Canada) Palos Verdes Estates, California, ended the tournament tied for seventh at even-par 142.
