Stanford senior Mari Chun (Kamehameha '05) probably wishes she could play every tournament in Sammamish, Wash.

For the second time in three years, Chun earned individual medalist honors at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational on Wednesday, posting the low score of the tournament to help the Cardinal win by 16 strokes over Oregon.

Chun entered the final round trailing by a stroke, but had three birdies in posting a 33 on the front nine to catapult herself into the lead.

She finished with an even-par 72 to win the tournament by four strokes. She posted a 3-over 75 in the first round before coming back to shoot 71 in Round 2.

Both of her career victories have come on the same course. The Cardinal return home to host the Stanford Intercollegiate Oct. 17-19.
