The NCAA women's golf championship starts tomorrow, Friday. Stanford is paired with Duke and U.SC for the first 2 rounds. They tee off on #1 beginning at 12:15 pm central/10:15 am pacific. That means the team will begin early on Saturday, probably at 7:30 am local time.
The format is 4 days/72 holes of medal play with the low 4 scores counting each day. At the end of 54 holes, there will be a cut. Only the low 15 teams will advance to the final medal round on Monday. After 72 holes, the lowest 8 teams will advance to match play. Quarterfinals and semifinals to be competed next Tuesday, finals on Wednesday. The Golf Channel starts its live coverage on Monday.
Stanford's lineup:
1 - Andrea Lee (soph)
2 - Mika Liu (frosh)
3 - Albane Valenzuela (soph)
4 - Ziyi (Emily) Wang (soph)
5 - Shannon Aubert (senior)
Lee, Valenzuela and Aubert were on the team last year that lost in the semifinals. Aubert will be playing in her 4th NCAA tournament. It's a strong lineup, maybe the strongest that Stanford has fielded in the 4 year run starting with the 2015 national championship. The team won its first tournament of the calendar year at the regionals. Could they be peaking now?
