This team is a mystery. Andrea Lee, who was the #1 rated collegiate golfer earlier in the season, has not finished in the top 10 in a tournament in over 2 months.
Shannon Aubert, a senior who has been a solid performer in 3 NCAA championships, is really struggling. Her best finish in the spring is T54. It's particularly head-scratching because she played so well in the fall. When you see a drop off like that, you think that maybe an injury is involved. But there have been no public statements of any kind.
Albane Valenzuela is one of the top 5 women amateurs in the world ranking. She played in the women's pro tournament in Palm Springs a few weeks ago and was on the leaderboard into the 3rd round before falling back. She has only sniffed the top 10 in one collegiate tournament this spring.
After the P12 tournament, Stanford will play in the NCAA regionals at Harding Park in 2 weeks. Regionals were supposed to be at Stanford, but the course is not ready for tournament play following renovation work. I know that the players are out there working hard and fighting every round. I hope that it all comes together for them soon.
