Stanford turned in another solid round, but it was not good enough to catch USC. Stanford finished 3rd behind the Trojans and Oregon.
Rose Zhang added to her legacy with a P12 individual championship. She shot a final round 69 (-3) for a total of 204 (-12). That's the lowest winning score in P10/12 history. Her career record at Stanford is rivaling that of Tiger Woods in their respective 2 years in terms of accomplishments.
Once again, Kelly Xu led the rest of the team. With a birdie on the final hole, she carded a 71 (-1). Angelina Ye and Sadie Englemann shot 73 (+1) and Megha Ganne 74 (+2).
USC today played their alternate as a substitute for their 5th player. The sub shot 68 (-4). It's a strong team when your 6th player can go that low. Similarly, Oregon's #5 player today shot the best round of the tournament by anyone, 66 (-6). I don't know if any Stanford players besides Zhang have the capability to go low under tough conditions as Oregon's player did.
Now we wait for Stanford's regional assignment. The NCAA will announce regional selections on the Golf Channel at 10 am Pacific next Wednesday, April 26. There is only one regional in the Western US and it's all the way in Pullman. Not sure if that will be a plus or not for Stanford, but it is the most likely assignment for the Cardinal.
