It's been a lousy weekend for Stanford sports. But one bright spot - women's golf. Stanford tied for 1st at the Stanford Intercollegiate tournament which wrapped up today.
Stanford and USC went back and forth all round, each team well beyond the rest of the field. USC, led by 2 incredible final rounds of 65 for Jasmine Koo and 63 for Catherine Park, pulled ahead on the back 9. Stanford surged back into the lead late in the round on the back of Andrea Revuelta's 4 consecutive birdies on 17, 18, 1 and 2 (she started on the 4th hole). USC closed the gap by the end of the round. Both teams finished -18. Stanford was led by Megha Ganne who finished 3rd overall with rounds of 66-72-67.
Texas made a late run to finish at -11. You can expect all 3 of these teams (Stanford, USC, Texas) to be among the contenders for a NC in May.
Stanford has 7 strong players but only 5 can play at a time. To give you an idea of Coach Walker's dilemma, frosh Leigh Chien and Nora Sundberg played the tournament as individuals. Chien finished T5th overall. Sundberg finished 12th.
Stanford closes out the fall season in Hawaii starting a week from tomorrow.
