W Golf: Our incoming frosh is 1st in US Women's amateur stroke play - oldalum - 08-05-2020
Rachel had a Heck of a first two rounds (ok, I've done it, now that pun is banned forever) and will be the #1 seed in match play that starts tomorrow.

Article said she committed when she was a high school freshman. Is that possible?
“Part of the reason that I probably wanted to go there since I was little, not that I knew much about Stanford, the academics or the team,” Heck said. “...Michelle Wie went there, so it’s got to be cool.”

3 other Stanford players qualified for match play:
Sadie Englemann (also an incoming frosh)
Aline Krauter (junior)
Lei Ye (sophomore)
Sophomore Brooke Seay just missed the playoff for the final spots by one shot, finishing at +7.

And Rose Zhang, who enters next fall, qualified and is in the top half of the bracket with Heck.
If both win their first two rounds, they'd meet in the round of 16.
Krauter, Yei, and Engleman are in the bottom half.
Yei and Engleman also would meet in the round of 16 if they win twice.
Great to see Heck's performance. She'd been in a relative slump for 18 months,
after establishing herself as the premier player in her class for three or four years.

Heck is 4 up thru 11
Zhang 3 up thru 9
Others just started or about to
RE: W Golf: Our incoming frosh is 1st in US Women's amateur stroke play - Hulk01 - 08-06-2020
Heck was six under, won 2 up. She's now ten-under for 54 holes.
Zhang finished at six under, too--for just 15 holes, winning 5 & 3.
They face each other if they win their next matches.

I just learned that Lei Ye's opponent today Megha Ganne is also a Stanford commit, class of 2022.

Should we rename the tournament the "Stanford Invitational"

Coach Walker is sneaky clever, circumventing NCAA restrictions by using the U.S. Amateur to begin the process of team bonding.
RE: W Golf: Our incoming frosh is 1st in US Women's amateur stroke play - BobK - 08-07-2020
Heck and Zhang have won this morning so on the the 16 also today

Ye has bogeyed 2 holes to drop back into a tie after 12 holes. She is playing the defending champion so a tough opponent. So far, Ye has made two bogeys and a birdie, Ruffels one bogey.
_____________________
Another bogey (3 in the last 5 holes) and Ye falls one behind. 5 holes left
RE: W Golf: Our incoming frosh is 1st in US Women's amateur stroke play - Hulk01 - 08-07-2020
Heck is now 15-under over 69 holes. Incredible.
Meets her future teammate, Rose Zhang, next.

Engleman 2, 1 in 2020 class, #106 in world
Ganne 11, 5 in 2022 class, #134 in world
Heck no longer ranked as a junior
Other world rankings:
Ye 29, Krauter 63, Heck 71 (but will leap next week, of course.)
Schools with multiple current or future players in the round of 32:
Cardinal (3), UCLA, USC, Auburn and Wake Forest (2).

Zhang won, will probably face a U$C player in the semis.
