Geaux Cardinal!
Here's a question from a neophyte on this scheduling format. It shows Stanford tee times starting from 7:10 am to 7:50 am. I believe Golf Channel coverage doesn't start until 2:00 pm. Is that correct?
Coverage of the quarterfinals starts at 12 Eastern/9a Pacific and coverage of the semis starts at 2p Eastern/11a Pacific

The wild cards are Heck and Englemann. Englemann posted no birdies today. Heck's only birdie came on the final hole. Is that a sign of fatigue perhaps by both of them? I think that Stanford has to get a win out of 1 of those 2.
Keep an eye on Bae and Mahe from Georgia. Birdies are very big in match play and Mahe led the entire field with 16 birdies during the 4 stroke play rounds. Bae was close behind with 14. A team comparison of birdies:
Heck (12) vs. Bae (14)
Englemann (7) vs. Don (10)
Zhang (15) vs. Mahe (16) <---- marquee match
Krauter (9) vs. Cowart (2, but she only played 2 of the 4 rounds)
Seay (9) vs. Hung (4)
I'll also be watching the Oregon-San Jose State match. They have arguably been the 2 best teams during the spring golf season. Should be a barnburner.
Stanford held onto first place despite Zhang & Heck both playing poorly (for them). This team has depth that I don't think anyone else can hang with, but in match play you just never know (see last year). They can't play like that today (or tomorrow if they get there) but they know that and I think they have that "bad round" under their belt now.
The one thing that worries me is Heck's stamina. Today is going to be a very long day - hopefully.
