Both the men's and women's teams are looking like contenders this spring.
The men's team won their own tournament a couple of weeks ago against a pretty good field; four ranked teams including #1 U.SC. The Cardinal is currently ranked #7. This past weekend, the men came in second in the Western Intercollegiate against a strong field. Three Cardinal golfers finished in the top 5 individually, showing off the depth of the team as that included the #5 and #6 players on the roster. U.SC ran away from the field, but the Cardinal would have challenged them with more consistency from the middle of the order. The Pac-12 tournament starts at the end of the month, and if it goes according to form, it will be a battle between Stanford, Oregon and U.SC.
The women look even stronger, having delivered top 3 finishes in almost every tournament. They are currently ranked #3. They are leading their final tune-up tournament before the Pac-12 Championships in a couple of weeks.
Is there another NCAA championship out there for these teams? They should be in the mix, the women especially.
P.S. I had to bring up another spring sport to distract us from Softball.
