Northwestern junior Dianna Lee made a 4-foot putt on the 18th hole to give the Wildcats their first women’s golf national championship.
Lee defeated Stanford’s Andrea Revuelta, 1 up, in the deciding match as Northwestern upset the top-ranked defending champions, 3-2. Lee had three separate putts over the final two holes to clinch the championship and made the third time a charm.
Stanford, trying to become the first team in the match-play era to win back-to-back titles, grabbed the first point Wednesday at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, when Megha Ganne beat Ashley Yun in the leadoff match, 5 and 4.
