The pressure on Thomas must be tremendous.  She's the top golfer on the course for either team and she's down 3 strokes to Stanford's #4 player.  Some people thrive under that kind of pressure, but most do not.

Rhee pours in another 6 footer to put the pressure back on Stackhouse who misses from 4 feet.  They are all square.

Kersten misses a 2 footer for a double bogey to lose another hole to a bogey.  2 down and struggling.

Thomas rolls in an 8 footer for birdie.  Aubert rolls in a birdie on top of her for a halve!  Still 3 up.

Not for nothing was UW a trendy pick to win it all (upsetting UCLA in the process).  At least the pairings where Stanford is trailing are not the farthest along the course.

UW making all their putts.  Stackhouse three putts after hitting the par 5 in 2 for a halve.  Danielson hits an approach to 3 feet for a sure birdie.  But her opponent rolls in a 20 footer for a birdie.  They halve the hole.

Stackhouse and Kersten do not look comfortable at all over short putts.

Is anything easy with us?

At the turn, Aubert justifies her request to be put in at #1.  She's 3-up.
Danielson is 1-up through 8.
Stackhouse is all-square through 7.
Kersten is looking shaky; 2 down through 6.
Kim is down 1 through 6.

About as close to even as one can get.  We have the slightest of advantages, with Aubert 3-up and our two leaders further up the course than theirs.  But it is incredibly close.

That slight advantage wouldn't matter if everything ended up all square after 18 though, right?  Stackhouse could really help out the nervous fans with some mojo :)

Stackhouse hits her approach to 3-4 feet.  And misses again for birdie.  She needs to take a few deep breaths and have a short memory.

Btw, Aubert looks very solid.  Now 4 up.  She has been middle of fairway and middle of green on every hole.

Stackhouse hit her approach to 15 feet and missed again.  But she won the hole with a par.  She could be 4 up over a struggling opponent.  But at least Stackhouse makes the turn with the lead.

Danielson and Yuo are playing a great match.  Yuo makes a 15 footer for birdie on 10.  Danielson then misses from 5 feet.  All square.

Ugh.  Aubert 3 putts to lose 12.  3 up. 

Kersten is 5 down at the turn.

It appears that it will come down to the matches that involve Stanford's 3 top (and most experienced) players - Danielson, Stackhouse and Kim.  The team that wins 2 of those 3 matches will be NC.

Aubert 3-up with 6 to go is a pretty good spot to be, though 4-up would have been better.
Sadly, at the turn, Kersten can probably be written off.  She's down 5 and has not looked good.  She has won 1 hole, halved two, and lost 6.
That leaves Kim (down 1), Stackhouse (up 1), and Danielson (all square) to decide it.

Stackhouse is up 2 through 11.  I'd bet on her to preserve that lead over a much lower ranked freshman with no experience at the level of this match.

Alvarez knocks it stiff on 9 and may go 3 up on Kim.

Aubert makes a clutch 8 footer for par.  Still 3 up.

Danielson misses a 10 footer for birdie.  Still all square.  Her match is crucial.

Thomas has taken the last two holes from Aubert.  That leaves her 2 up with 4 to play.
Kim got one back from Alvarez and is now down 2 after 10.

We are going to need either Danielson or Kim to come back and win their matches.

Thomas makes birdie on 15 for her 3rd win in four holes.  Aubert is only 1 up.

Rhee hits in the water on 14.  Stackhouse is just off the green with her approach.  She can go 3 up with a safe par.

Kim still 2 down.

Danielson still 1 down.
