As expected, here comes Stanford.
The top-ranked Cardinal spun their wheels a bit to begin this NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship on Friday afternoon, but with a first-off tee time on Saturday at Grayhawk Golf Club, they played like the team we’ve seen all year.
Led by Rose Zhang’s flawless 5-under 67, Stanford shot 15 under, the round of the day by three shots, to move five spots on the leaderboard to second, just two shots back of Wake Forest, which leads at 17 under.
Zhang is T-6 individually at 5 under, five shots behind Wake Forest’s Lauren Walsh, while the Cardinal boast two players at T-9, Sadie Englemann and Megha Ganne, who shot 69 and 72, respectively.
