In a much-anticipated showdown between the country’s top two women’s teams, Stanford sent a strong message to the team that figures to be its biggest challenger for national supremacy by soundly defeating Wake Forest, 4-1, at the second annual Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
Stanford freshman Megha Ganne fired a loud opening salvo at Seminole Golf Club with a 1-up victory over Wake Forest senior Rachel Kuehn, who claimed medalist honors in the stroke play competition with a 10-under score. Ganne was 3 up through 13 holes, but Kuehn flashed her All-America form by winning the next three holes to tie the match. Ganne made par to win No. 17 and both golfers birdied No. 18 to clinch Stanford’s first point of the day.
