The spring season does not begin for women's golf for another month (more on that below). But there is news to report.
5 current Stanford players received invitations yesterday to play in the 2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur - Rachel Heck, Megha Ganne, Kelly Xu, Sadie Englemann and Paula Martin Sampedro. The ANWA tournament will be played April 3, 4 and 6.
The Cardinal's spring schedule begins Feb 19-21 at the P12 Preview in Hawaii. A week later Stanford plays a dual match vs. SJSU at CordeValle followed by the Juli Inkster Invitational at the Meadow Club in Marin. Over the next 7 weeks, Stanford is only scheduled to play one tournament, the PING ASU Invitational the week before the ANWA. So the team will only play 3 spring tournaments plus a dual before P12s at the end of April and NCAA regionals in May. It seems kind of thin to me. But in Coach Walker we trust!
One other note. Rose Zhang will be cutting back on her LPGA tournaments for the first part of 2024 as she juggles Stanford classes and pro golf.
