“She is incredibly patient,” Walker said of Zhang. “That’s what she got in these rounds. She has patience and the belief that something will happen if I stay on the course. She goes ahead of herself or gets stuck in the past. No. Something good happens when you survive the storm. That’s what I saw from her. “
The 4-stroke lead for Zhang to start the round was reduced to 3 after the opening hole bogey, which was a bogie hole in all three rounds so far. However, Zhang closed the front 9 with an 8 straight par in front of the 10th birdie, made a 5 straight par, then closed with a 3 straight birdie and finished the round with a 3 under 69. She will enter the final round on Monday. She leads two golfers with two unders by seven strokes.
“I was able to get out there and hold on to whatever I had, so I tried to play as best as I could in the first few holes,” Zhang said of her round. “It was obviously a very big grind. I feel like I could just go in and keep committing to my game plan and keep committing to myself. I hit shots one after another. I did what I wanted. It changed. I’m very proud of how I got the goal and I’m very proud of being able to put the ball in the hole. “
That week, Zhang played a par 5 with a 9-under, a par 3 with a 1-under, and a par 4 with a 1-over, but the 1-over mark is the second best on the field as a whole. Her 13 birdies lead the entire field.
Sadie Englemann When Rachel Heck To help the Cardinal perform the best team round in the tournament, he fired the same 2-under 70 on Sunday. Ingleman, sitting in 5th place with a 1-over, opened with a birdie, then a bogey, and closed with a 14th par and 2 birdies. These arrived at the 7th and 18th holes. Hall ends with a total of four birdies for her best round of the week.
“Frankly, I don’t think there is anyone in fifth place,” Walker said after the round. “I’m not looking at the 5th, 3rd, and 1st places. I’m just looking at everyone going out on the same golf course. These are all experienced players, so that’s not the case. Sadie Engelmann is 2 When I saw it pop up under, I was surprised … she walked around like a boss woman and handled herself. What’s missing from Sadie’s game is that she got out there and she had it. The ability to believe that it is in her, and today she knew it was in her from the moment she stepped on her first tee. “
One thing that allowed Stanford to score good all week through three rounds is its ability to avoid large numbers. Throughout the 15 individual rounds, the Cardinal only cards 7 double bogeys and has no worse score. Stanford golfers have never fallen below 76 in any round of the week. This is due to the ability of the team to stay there. Stanford leads the field with a par 4 score and is second with a par 3 and par 5 score. The Cardinal leads the field with the most pars and birdies.
“It’s really easy to keep it away from you, but we’ve never shot more than four times in a week, and it’s showing you,” Walker said. “They (Brooksie When Aline Krauter) I’m not going to let it escape from them. They will do their best to the end. “
After the round, Seay was awarded the NCAA Elite 90 Award. This is given to the student athlete with the highest average cumulative grade in each final of the NCAA Championship. Seay owns 4.0 in Human Biology.
After Sunday’s round, the field will be cut to 15 teams, followed by Monday’s round (tee off at 11:50 am at Stanford University), with the top eight teams moving on to match play. Golf channel coverage begins Monday at 2:00 pm PT.
