[edit] Amateur career

Stanford was born in Fort Worth, Texas. As a junior golfer, she won the Fort Worth Girls Championship four times (1993–1996), the 1996 Texas State 4A High School Championship and the 1996 PING Texas State Junior Championship.[1][2] She enrolled at Texas Christian University in 1996 where she won nine collegiate tournaments, was a four-time All-American and a four-time All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) selection. She was named WAC Freshman of the Year in 1997 and WAC Player of the Year in 1999 and won the 2000 WAC Championship.[3] She graduated from TCU in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in speech communication.

Stanford was a member of the 2000 U.S. Curtis Cup team and a semifinalist at the 2000 British Ladies Amateur.[4]

[edit] Professional career

Stanford turned professional in 2000 and played on the Duramed Futures Tour, with one victory. She finished fourth in the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament that year to earn exempt status on the LPGA Tour for 2001.

Her first victory on the LPGA Tour was in her third season at the 2003 ShopRite LPGA Classic. A week later Stanford was in a three player 18-hole playoff for the U.S. Women's Open, but lost to Hilary Lunke by a stroke. Her best finish on the LPGA money list is 9th in 2008, when she earned over $1.1 million.

Stanford has been a member of four U.S. Solheim Cup teams; in 2003, 2007, 2009, and 2011.
