DALLAS, Texas – Navy women's golfer Stephanie Lee closed out competition at the 2023 Jackson T. Stephens Cup on Tuesday, finishing 37th on the player leader board after three rounds of stroke play at the Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas.
 
Playing on the par-72, 6,466-yard course just an hour away from her hometown of Southlake, the senior posted a 19-over par 235 over 54 holes to place 37th in the 39-person field. After shooting a round of 77 to open the prestigious event against some of the top golfers from seven Top-25 programs, Lee then shot another round of 77 to close out Monday before coming back Tuesday and shooting an 81 over the final 18 holes.
 
Lee was one of four golfers who received a special invitation to play as an individual in the team-scored event. Meanwhile, Benjamin Valdez represented the Navy in the men's tournament and finished 38th on the player leader board.
 
The Jackson T. Stephens Cup is named in memory of the late Augusta National Chairman Jackson T. Stephens, who attended the Naval Academy and graduated as a member of the Class of 1947. The field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is named Jack Stephens Field, whose gift of $10 million in 2003 aided in the renovations of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, as well as a handful of other projects part of the United States Naval Academy Campaign: Leaders to Serve the Nation.
 
Lee and the rest of the Midshipmen return to the course on Oct. 21-22 at the Lady Blue Hen Invitational in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
