FINAL RESULTS: ANOTHER DOUBLE-DIP - Salinda, Cardinal victorious at Pasatiempo

Isaiah Salinda captures first victory

For the first time since 2016, the Stanford men's golf team has produced back-to-back victories.
 
After pulling away for an 18-stroke win two weeks ago on its home course at The Goodwin, the No. 21 Cardinal followed up with a six-shot triumph on Wednesday in the 73rd Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Club. Stanford has recorded 10 team triumphs in the Western dating back to 1947.
 
Additionally, senior Isaiah Salinda captured his first collegiate crown, becoming the eighth Cardinal medalist at Pasatiempo. He birdied the par-3 18th hole in regulation to force a sudden death playoff with Sean Yu of host San Jose State, then beat him on the fifth playoff hole by sinking a six-foot birdie putt on the 18th green.
 
Cardinal senior Brandon Wu claimed his first college title at The Goodwin.
 
"Our team definitely made their share of birdies the last two days," Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf Conrad Ray said. "This team just keeps plodding along and I'm really proud of them. Everybody stepped up and made some great shots when it mattered."
 
Ray was thrilled for Salinda, who won the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship and reached the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach last summer.
 
"He's had a great career at Stanford and it's special for him," Ray said. "Especially coming at this time of the year."
 
Stanford caught fire the last two rounds in the 13-team tournament on the famed Alistair MacKenzie layout. For the second day in a row, it boasted the low team total, combining for a 10-under 340 to finish at 10-under 1,040 for the three-day event. Cal claimed second at 1,046.
 
Salinda began the final round with a three-stroke advantage and maintained it until the back nine. After falling two shots off the pace, he birdied 15 and 16 to regain a share of the lead, bogeyed 17, then stiffed his tee shot at the short but testy par-3 18th, where he calmly holed a testy, four-foot, right-to-left birdie putt.
 
Wu erupted for eight, last-da

y birdies and fired a 65. He was one of three Stanford players to break par. Junior David Snyder also caught fire on the back side with five birdies and fashioned a 66, while junior Henry Shimp added a 68. Freshman Daulet Tulebayev contributed a 71 and sophomore Nate Menon shot 73.
 
Wu and Shimp concluded a 1-under 209 and tied for 11th, Snyder wound up at 2-over 212 and knotted for 17th, Tuleubayev wound up at 4-over 214 and tied for 24th, and Menon finished at 218 and tied for 47th.   
 
Playing as individuals, freshman Freddie Lee closed with a 69 and tied for 17th, and freshman Ethan Ng added a 70 to share 47th.
 
Stanford resumes competition next Monday through Wednesday at the Pac-12 Championships at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore.

ROUND TWO RESULTS: Salinda on top as Stanford moves into second place

Stanford mounted a back nine charge and pulled within one stroke of the lead on Tuesday after two rounds of the 73rd Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Club.
 
The only team to break par in the 13-school tournament, the No. 21 Cardinal compiled a score of 4-under 346 and stands at even-par 700 after 36 holes. Host San Jose State retained the top-spot at 1-under 699. USC and Cal share third at 705.
 
Stanford senior Isaiah Salinda, who began the second round in a three-way tie for first place, earned sole possession with a 2-under 68. Coupled with Monday's career-best 64, he has a 36-hole score of 8-under 132, three strokes ahead of Kevin Velo and Sean Yu of San Jose State, Clay Feagler of Pepperdine and Cameron Henry of USC.
 
"I definitely thought it was a little tougher than yesterday," said Salinda, citing the firm conditions and challenging pin locations. "I kind of had to work for everything."
 
Salinda capped off his day with clutch birdies at 17 and 18.
 
Juniors Henry Shimp (67) and David Snyder (69) also broke par for the Cardinal, while freshman Daulet Tulebayev shot 70. Senior Brandon Wu added a 74.
 
Playing as individuals, freshmen Freddie Lee and Ethan Ng record 74 and 76, respectively.
 
The Cardinal, coming off an impressive 18-shot victory at The Goodwin in its last start, has produced nine wins at the Western Intercollegiate, the last in 2014. Seven Stanford golfers have collected individual titles, Maverick McNealy last accomplishing it in 2016.
 
"At the end of the day, the team win is the most important thing to me," said Salinda, who will seek his first collegiate victory.
 
Stanford begins the final round on Wednesday at 9:42 a.m. and is paired with San Jose State, USC and Cal. Golf Channel will provide live coverage from 1-4 p.m.

FINAL RESULTS
The Stanford golf team pulled away for a resounding 18-stroke victory on Saturday in the 50th playing of The Goodwin at Stanford Golf Course.
 
The Cardinal closed with a 6-under score of 274 – the lowest last-day total among 26 competing teams by six strokes – to finish at 8-under 832. No. 7 USC placed second at 850 and No. 4 Oklahoma was third at 854.
 
It marked the 16th Cardinal victory in tournament history, named for former head coach and Stanford Hall of Famer, Wally Goodwin. He was unable to attend, but no doubt the 92-year-old Goodwin had a big smile on his face Saturday night at his home in Arizona.
 
Stanford's last team triumph came in 2017 at The Goodwin.
 
After contending in his last two events, senior Brandon Wu captured his first collegiate title in

dramatic fashion. Playing one group ahead of junior teammate David Snyder, Wu posted a 3-under-par 67 to finish as the clubhouse leader at 4-under 206. With darkness falling, Snyder poured in a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to force a sudden death playoff.
 
"He's notoriously the best putter on the team," said Wu. "We all had a feeling this could sneak in. Phenomenal putt, dead-center."
 
Wu won on the first extra hole and said it was worth the wait to win his first title in his last regular-season home event.
 
"It' so special," he said. "We only get to play at home once a year, so it's an awesome experience. Beyond that, it was cool to see all your teammates and Stanford family come out to watch and support you."
 
Conrad Ray, the Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf, called it a storybook ending.
 
"To have a guy have so many close calls and a great career at Stanford over the course of four years and play in almost every tournament and have his first win come in The Goodwin in the 50th is a pretty special deal," said Ray. "He'll remember that the rest of his life and we will, too."

In his previous two starts before The Goodwin, Wu finished third at the Southern Highlands Collegiate and placed second at The Prestige.
 
He became the Cardinal's 16th individual champion, the first since Maverick McNealy in 2015.
 
Saturday's victory was the first by a Stanford player since 2016, when McNealy captured the Nike Collegiate Invitational. That earned him a share of the program's all-time win record of 12 shared by Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers.
 
Competing against a strong field, the Cardinal received contributions from throughout the lineup in the 54-hole tournament. Wu, Snyder (second) and senior Isaiah Salinda (sixth) secured top-10's.
 
"I really believe in this team and I've been saying it a lot," Ray said. "Sometimes that's the hardest part because you have to convince these guys they can play. Hopefully, we can ride the momentum."

Junior Henry Shimp tied for 45th and freshman Daulet Tulebayev tied for 60th.
 
The White team earned a share of 19th and was led by sophomore Nate Menon (t-29).
 
Stanford returns to competition April 15-17 at the Western Intercollegiate hosted by San Jose State at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif. The tournament will be televised by Golf Channel.

ROUND TWO RESULTS: Stanford Athletics
Host Stanford surged into the lead after two rounds in the 50th playing of The Goodwin at Stanford Golf Course.
 
The Cardinal put together a best four-out-of-five total of 1-under 279 on Friday morning, matching Thursday's finish and has a 36-hole score of 2-under 558. Washington is second at 565 and Cal is third at 566.
 
The three schools will play together in Saturday's final round.
 
"Excited about our chances tomorrow," said Conrad Ray, the Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf.  "A great opportunity to build on our spring campaign and gain experience against high quality teams. The goal is stay aggressive and play how we know we can. The results will take care of themselves."
 
Individually, three Cardinal players reside in the top-10 and four are in the top-15.

Twenty-six schools are participating.
