- Rachel's surgery was a complete success. "It's gonna be a while" before she's swinging a club again (her words), but all signs point to a complete recovery and her returning to the team in the fall. She just has such a positive attitude all the time, everywhere. I am going to try to channel her a little bit next week when I play in a tournament with my wife at Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Spanish Bay
- Brooke Seay is going to play the Augusta National Women's Amateur next week, a great sign that she's passed concussion protocols. Didn't see her at practice but Rose said she's doing well
- The team will be playing next week on Maui at Royal Ka'anapali with only one of the regular starters from the fall - Sadie Englemann. Zhang, Seay, and Megha Ganne will be at Augusta, and Heck is out for the rest of the season. A great opportunity for the rest of the team to step up and play well. They will need Englemann and one other player to step up if they are going to have a legit shot at repeating
Thanks for the report, Win! Much appreciated. The schedule on GoStanford.com indicates that Stanford is only entering individuals in the Hawaii tournament. If that is correct, Stanford as a team won't be competing.
