Anne Chen Posts Third Top 10 Finish in Last Four Starts

Anne Chen kept one of the steadiest stretches of her Epson Tour season going this weekend, finishing 10th at the Four Winds Invitational at Blackthorn Golf Club. The result is her fourth straight top-16 showing of the year and another sign that the 24-year-old is trending in the right direction as the season moves into its second half.

Chen was a factor all week on a Blackthorn layout that gave up plenty of red numbers, staying inside the top of the leaderboard from Friday through the weekend to secure the top-10 finish. Haylee Harford Sanchez took the title at 15 under par, with Mieke Streicher second at 13 under and Lucy Zeng third at 11 under.

What stands out about Chen’s 2026 isn’t a single week – it’s the consistency. In four Epson Tour starts this season she has finished inside the top 16 every time, a run of reliability that speaks to a game rounding into form. She has made the cut in three of those four appearances and carded a low round of 62 along the way, showing the scoring ceiling is there when everything clicks.

The finish continues a strong arc for Chen, who broke through in a big way last fall. The former Duke standout, who first joined the Epson Tour in 2024, won the 2025 Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells in dramatic fashion to earn her LPGA Tour card for 2026. That victory remains the signature moment of her young professional career, and weeks like this one at Four Winds suggest she intends to build on it rather than rest on it.

With a top-10 now in hand and momentum on her side, Chen heads into the coming stretch of the Epson Tour schedule as a player to watch – one whose week-in, week-out consistency is quietly becoming her calling card.
