The teams that played this morning are completing their rounds. We already see that this golf course is playing 2-3 shots easier for the men than for the women. Some holes (especially the par 5s) just play shorter for the men. One positive aspect of the course I noted from watching the women is that the greens were playing really well. They would hold a shot, putted at a fast but not unreasonable speed and were not completely inscrutable to the players. I saw a lot of made putts. The course will yield low scores. Players in the morning have already posted a 66 and a 67. In contrast to the women, we will see under par scores for the men's teams this week. I hope that one of them is Stanford.
