FINAL RESULTS:
In a rain shortened event between 8 teams, Stanford ended with a split of its two matches. The Cardinal lost the first match against South Carolina 4 & 2 and swept the second match against Kent State 6-0. The second match was started on day one but rain ended play for the day, and the match was finalized on day two. Sophomore Henry Shimp and sophomore Ashwin Arasu led the way by each winning both of their matches. The other four team members split their two matches.
"Great work yesterday afternoon and today by the guys against a quality Kent State Team," said Conrad Ray, the Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf. "We had a better feel for the course in our second match and all of the games got off to a fast start. It was a great learning experience to be able to play this format on a world class course with something on the line."
Stanford's 8 total match points tied for the best finish among the eight teams with Georgia. The two match results for the Cardinal are shown below. The final match was called off due to thunderstorm activity in the area.
Muirfield Village Golf Club was designed by Nicklaus, whose 18 major wins are the most in golf history. He is also host of the Memorial Tournament, an elite PGA Tour event played at Muirfield each year.
"We were thankful for the opportunity," Ray said. "It was also an honor to spend time on a course that honors the legacy of Mr. Jack Nicklaus."
The Cardinal returns to competition on October 19-21 at The Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate Invitational in Alpharetta, Georgia. The 15-team, 54-hole tournament will be contested at The Golf Club of Georgia.
