The Course
• Cypress Point is, among golf courses, perhaps the ultimate enigma. It is one of the most famous, has been called the most beautiful and is widely considered to be one of the greatest golf courses in the world. The par-72, 6,509-yard Alister MacKenzie course nestled in Pebble Beach is set in coastal dunes, as the course enters the Del Monte forest during the front nine and reemerges to the rocky coastline for the finishing holes. Cypress Point annually is ranked among the best courses in the world, and tops in both the United States and California.
Last Time Out
• Stanford posted a final-round 10-under 278 to finish third at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate. It was the second-best score by any team during the outing hosted by Georgia Tech at the Golf Club of Georgia, and moved the Cardinal from seventh to its final position.
• Stanford (293-286-278) teamed to go 7-under at the three-day, 54-hole event, tying USC for the third spot and one stroke behind co-winners Virginia and Texas.
• Brandon Wu (-6) tied for fourth among individuals after rounds of 73-68-69.
