Stanford women’s golf defies history to win second NCAA title
It was dominant, then it was close, and then it was over: Stanford is the winner of the NCAA DI Women’s Golf Championship.
The NCAA tournament started with 72 teams, with the Cardinal ultimately emerging victorious, 3-2, on Wednesday at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, despite a plucky effort from the Oregon Ducks.
It’s not necessarily a surprising result, seeing as Stanford is the top-ranked team in the country, but as the top seed following stroke play, there were superstitious discussions around the fact that the No. 1 seed has never gone on to win the national title since the start of match play team finals in 2015.
