After 7 holes today, Stanford had fallen to 4th place with Oregon and Arizona racing away from them. I was thinking that it could get worse on the back 9. But the putts finally started to fall for all of the Cardinal players. They played the final 11 holes in -7 and passed Oregon to finish round 2 in 3rd place. USC and Arizona came back in their final holes and only lead Stanford by 3 shots. The title is definitely up for grabs.

Rose Zhang leads the field by 4 shots after a 2nd round 68. She bogeyed back to back holes on 13 and 14. Then proceeded to birdie 3 of the final 4.

Kelly Xu was the other Cardinal under par with a 71 (-1). Her game is showing the improvement over the course of the season that you hope to see, especially from a freshman. Strong play from Xu could be very important for Stanford's post season success.

Sadie Englemann was back to being Steady Sadie. Even par 72.

Both Megha Ganne and Angelina Ye recovered from being +3 early in their rounds to finish with 73 (+1). They should feel good about their resilience and perseverance. 

Team results
1. Arizona -8
1. USC -8
3. Stanford -5
4. Oregon -2
5. ASU Even

Individual results
1. Zhang -9
20. Xu +1
20. Ye +1
27. Ganne +3
33. Englemann +4

Couple of notes:
Zhang's score of 135 ties the 36 hole record for the conference tournament
Zhang turned down an invitation to play in the LPGA major in Houston this week. Avery from USC and Campos from UCLA both accepted. They will go straight from Phoenix to Houston tomorrow to play the pro tournament without a practice round.
