Scores still to be confirmed, but it looks like Stanford will make it by the slimmest of margins.
Stanford was led by Michael Thorbjornsen who shot a bogey-free 64. With all of the pressure on the line, he made a breaking 3 footer for par on the 9th hole (his final hole of the day) to clinch it.
Barclay Brown finally put together a solid 18 holes, shooting 69 (with no double bogeys) including a critical birdie on the final hole.
Karl Vilips was again all over the place with a double bogey and 5 bogeys. But he made a 50 footer for birdie on 3, chipped in for birdie on 7 and hit it 2 feet for birdie on 9. Clutch!
Coach Ray made a substitution today, replacing Ethan Gao with Sean-Karl Dobson. That did not work out. Dobson shot 77 which was the drop score. Jake Beber-Frankel shot 73 which included 3 bogeys and a double on the par 3s.
Final standings (assuming that the Tracker is accurate)
Illinois -36
Florida State -28
Texas A&M -19
SMU -10
Stanford -10
------------------------------------
SMU Ole Miss -9
Among other P12 teams, Cal, Utah and Arizona are advancing. ASU (the #3 team in the country) is not.
