SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — You often hear winning is never easy. But, today in the women’s NCAA Championship match for Stanford, it was mostly easy. The question as the final match with Oregon made the turn was, ‘Would it be a sweep?’
Oregon did win just enough holes late in the match to catch Stanford’s attention, but what might have been the most interesting thing to come out of the final was Oregon’s Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen rolling her push cart over her opponent Rose Zhang’s ball, resulting in a one-shot penalty which led Zhang to win on the 17th hole and close the match.
The end result was a comfortable 3-2 Stanford win.
