Back on the Course

  • No. 1 Stanford returns to the course on March 6-7, participating in the Juli Inkster at Meadow Club Invitational in Fairfax, California. The Meadow Club will be set up as a 6,157-yard, par 72 course and the teams will play 36 holes on Monday (shotgun start, 8:15 a.m.) and the final 18 on Tuesday (shotgun start, 8:30 a.m.). 
  • No. 5 San Jose State and No. 111 San Francisco are co-hosting the event. The field also includes No. 11 USC, No. 23 Pepperdine, No. 30 Texas Tech, No. 40 California, No. 53 Oregon State, No. 65 Washington, No. 75 BYU, No. 79 Colorado, No. 94 San Diego State and No. 97 Washington State.
  • The Cardinal will showcase a lineup of Sadie Englemann, Megha Ganne, Kelly Xu, Angelina Ye and Rose Zhang while Rebecca Becht, Yu Wen Lu and Caroline Sturdza will compete as individuals.
  • Seeking its fifth tournament title this season, the Cardinal is coming off a runner-up finish at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge three weeks ago. Rose Zhang fired a 6-under 207 to claim her eighth victory in 15 career collegiate events while Megha Ganne tied for fifth overall (even, 213). Stanford has already secured tournament victories at the Carmel Cup, Stephen's Cup (championship match), Stanford Intercollegiate and Pac-12 Preview.
  • Zhang continues to rewrite the school record books and is now tied with Rachel Heck and Mhairi McKay for second all-time at Stanford in career victories (8) and just one shy of Andrea Lee's school record (9). Zhang, who has won four times in five events this season, has produced eight wins, 12 top-two finishes, 13 top-five marks and 14 top-10s in 15 career events on The Farm. Zhang, whose only career finish outside the Top 10 is a tie for 12th, has amassed a 69.4 career scoring average, playing 23 rounds in the 60s and 40 at even-par or better in 46 career rounds.
  • Sadie Englemann was named Pac-12 Golfer of the Week for Feb. 28, earning her first career honor after recording Stanford's best result in a narrow 3.5-2.5 match loss to San Jose State, winning 4&3 over Louisa Carlbom. After halving the opening two holes, Englemann, who recorded a clean scorecard over 15 holes with five birdies and no bogeys, won six of the next 13 en route to the convincing 4&3 win.
