Stanford won the national championship in 2015 when Mariah Stackhouse beat Haley Davis of Baylor on the 19th hole.

We have a good-sized hill to climb tomorrow, but it is not as big as the one in 2015. I remember watching the last three holes at least of the Mariah Stackhouse-Haley Davis match. The memory indelibly etched (but, correctly???) in my mind is Stackhouse's second shot on 17. Dormie on the 17th tee, she drove into the left rough. She then--seemingly calmly, but under pressure I cannot imagine--took out a wood and, somehow, semi-miraculously rolled the ball onto the green for a two-putt birdie. Birdie 18 and a par win on 19--her first lead of the day and our first women's golf national championship. What a finish for the ages.

That's the way it is indelibly etched in my memory. All corrections welcomed. If the team could do that in 2015, the current team can do it tomorrow today. Unfortunately, I won't be watching, as my current provider does not carry the Golf Channel, so I'll be checking thecardboard for updates.
