But the real objective was to play well, finish top 5 and advance to Grayhawk. Check, check, check. Stanford should take some confidence into the NCAA championship which will start a week from Friday. I think that Coach Ray will be pleased with this result. Still a few things to clean up.
Final Team Results
1. ASU -59 (!!!)
2. Stanford -57 (!!)
3. Virginia -49
4. USF -45
Final Individual Results
4. Ng -18
T5. Thorbjornsen -15
T15. Brown -11
T21. Menon -10
T30. Vilips -7
Shall we start with the doubles and triples? Villips had 2 triples, and a double, gave back 8 strokes over 3 holes and offset 8 of his 21 birdies. Now, match play is another game. In match play, concede the hole and move on
Eng on the other hand had 4 bogies over 54 hole, 1 eagle and the rest birdies and pars. That kind of play will win you a lot of match play rounds.
Thor and Menon were also pretty consistent in limiting scores over par. Easy to say and hard to do, the guys played really great golf.
