Good fortune: We go out first, with temperature just over 70 and winds at eight mph.
The afternoon groups will have to deal with heat (90-92 degrees), dried-out greens that are harder to hold. harder greens, and winds twice as strong--which will dry out the greens even more.
Afternoon foursomes, scores coming in (Stanford's final 11), all plus:
Stanford 4
USC 4
UCLA 5
Arizona 9
Northwestern 9
Duke 9
Alabama 11
Florida 15
Arkansas 17
Furman 20
Texas 20
ASU 23
A key here is to deal with/survive the first six holes:
Average score:
Holes 1-6: +2.59
Holes 7-18: +2.51
3, 4, 5 and 6 are especially wicked: +2.24.
Go Cardinal!
