For the second consecutive day, Stanford tied for the second best round, which puts the Cardinal in second place. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive day, OK St had the best round of the day, and today there was a big gap. After 36 holes, Stanford is 12 shots behind OK St, and 5 shots clear of Texas A&M. These three teams will play together on Sunday, and be the first off. That's a 4:50am PDT tee shot for David Snyder!
There is a cut at the end of the round tomorrow, with the top 15 teams advancing to the final stroke play round on Monday. Stanford is currently 23 shots ahead of 15th place, so there won't be any drama about getting to play on Monday. At the end of Monday's round, the individual champion is crowned. Stanford's best hope for that honor is Isaiah Salinda, who is two shots out of the lead. Also, at the end of Monday's round, the top 8 teams advance to the quarterfinals of match play. Stanford is currently 15 shots clear of 8th place and hopefully is just playing for seeding on Monday.
The Pac 12 continues to do well in the individual competition, with 5 of the top 8. In addition to Salinda, Shimp has stepped it up and is alone in 7th place. In the team competition, the Pac 12 still has three teams above the projected 3rd round cut line: Cal is tied for 7th and ASU is 12th. USC's season is likely to end tomorrow, as they are in 23rd and haven't given any indication that they will improve.
