Round 4 -1/23/12
There were breezy conditions today on the Stanford Golf course which was playing much softer and therefore longer after a couple of rain storms this week.
It was Patrick Grimes who won the day...
Patrick had worked hard on his game over the winter break and in particular on his short game, green reading and putting speed. Finally, when everything was on the line, he reaped the rewards by firing a superb 3-under-par 67. In the battle for second place on the day, Andrew Yun claimed a little vengeance by making back-to-back birdies on his final two holes (4 and 5) to clip Patrick Rodgers by a shot. Patrick R. nonetheless earned an emphatic 11 shot victory in the "2012 Race to Hawaii" Qualifying Tournament with his -10 cumulative total. It is the first double-digit qualifying tournament win in Stanford Men's Golf history recorded under Coach Ray!
Here are the final 4 round totals:
1. Patrick Rodgers : 67(-3) + 66(-6) + 72 (E) + 69(-1) = 274(-10)
2. Andrew Yun : 68(-2) + 76(+4) + 73(+1) + 68(-2) = 285(+1)
3. Steven Kearney : 69(-1) + 74(+2) +76(+4) + 71(+1) = 290(+6)
4. David Chung : 68(-2) + 76(+4) + 74(+2) + 73(+3) = 291(+7)
5. Patrick Grimes : 70(E) + 78(+6) + 77(+5) + 67(-3) = 292(+8)
6. Cameron Wilson : 74(+4) + 73(+1) + 76(+4) + 73(+3) = 296(+12)
7. Shane Lebow : 69(-1) +79(+7) + 74(+2) + 77(+7) = 299(+15)
8. Andre Dedecker : 75(+5) + 81(+9) + 77(+5) + 74(+4) = 307(+23)
RTD. Marcel Puyat : 71(+1) + 77(+5) + RTD + RTD
RTD. Wilson Bowen : 77(+7) + 80(+8) + RTD + 76
The Hawaii (UH Hilo Invitational) 6-man traveling roster will be announced to the squad tomorrow morning. 5 players will form the team and one player will compete individually.
Round 3 - 1/21/12
Again, challenging conditions greeted the Cardinal Qualifiers today at the Cal Club. It was a cold and blustery afternoon with showers rolling through from the Pacific.
All things considered, players ground out their scores very well. Here is the leaderboard for round 3 scores only...
...18 birdies today!
If you are looking for the scores of Marcel Puyat and Wilson Bowen, unfortunately both players were forced to retire from the tournament due to sickness (flu) and injury respectively. Both players are hopeful to play in Monday's final round at Stanford Golf Course.
The cumulative scores are as follows...
1. Patrick Rodgers : 67(-3) + 66(-6) + 72 (E) = 205(-9)
2. Andrew Yun : 68(-2) + 76(+4) + 73(+1) = 217(+3)
3. David Chung : 68(-2) + 76(+4) + 74(+2) = 218(+4)
4. Steven Kearney : 69(-1) + 74(+2) +76(+4) = 219(+5)
5. Shane Lebow : 69(-1) +79(+7) + 74(+2) = 222(+8)
6. Cameron Wilson : 74(+4) + 73(+1) + 76(+4) = 223(+9)
7. Patrick Grimes : 70(E) + 78(+6) + 77(+5) = 225(+11)
8. Andre Dedecker : 75(+5) + 81(+9) + 77(+5) = 233(+19)
RTD. Marcel Puyat : 71(+1) + 77(+5) + RTD +
RTD. Wilson Bowen : 77(+7) + 80(+8) + RTD +

Round 2 - 1/20/12
It was a cool, damp and windy round at Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course and Patrick Rodgers was a man on a mission. After finishing with 3 birdies in a row to earn pole position in round one at Stanford, Patrick had this putt to start with 3 consecutive birdies today...
...which he made and amounted to this terrific scorecard...
The 66 was clearly outstanding on the day but Cameron Wilson also had and admirable 73 (+1) which featured 3 birdies and an eagle. Steven Kearney's round of 74 (+2) included 6 birdies and was good for 3rd best score of the day. Perhaps and indication of how tricky things were on the greens, Andrew Yun, 1st team all American and top of the golfstat putting rankings for the past two years 5-putted the 3rd green and was +8 after just 6 holes. Andrew's round of 76 (+4) was therefore a phenomenal comeback!
Here is the final leaderboard for round 2 scores only...
...34 birdies and 2 eagles today!!!
The cumulative totals are therefore...
1. Patrick Rodgers : 67(-3) + 66(-6) = 133(-9)
2. Steven Kearney : 69(-1) + 74(+2) = 143(+1)
3= Andrew Yun : 68(-2) + 76(+4) = 144(+2)
3= David Chung : 68(-2) + 76(+4) = 144(+2)
5. Cameron Wilson : 74(+4) + 73(+1) = 147(+5)
6= Patrick Grimes : 70(E) + 78(+6) = 148(+6)
6= Marcel Puyat : 71(+1) + 77(+5) = 148(+6)
6= Shane Lebow : 69(-1) +79(+7) = 148(+6)
9. Andre Dedecker : 75(+5) + 81(+9) = 156(+14)
10. Wilson Bowen : 77(+7) + 80(+8) = 157(+15)

Round 1 - 1/18/12
The Cardinal are back after Winter Break and raring to go in this new year!
Today was the first round of our annual "Race to Hawaii" Qualifying. This event is a seriously competitive 72 hole tournament in itself, but then when you factor in how a strong showing could earn players a spot on the traveling team to compete in the UH-Hilo Intercollegiate at Waikaloa on the Big Island of Hawaii, the consequence stakes are ramped up!
Round 1 was played over The Stanford Golf Course which, due to very little rain this winter, is currently in pristine condition with firm, fast rolling greens and fairways. As you can see from the picture (left) looking over toward the pro shop and first tee from the clubhouse, it was a beautiful crisp day. Set aside difficult pin placements, these somewhat benign conditions are not necessarily how conditions will remain for the next three rounds set out for Friday January 20th at Palo Alto Municipal, Saturday January 21st at The Cal Club and Monday January 23rd at Stanford Golf Course.
Teeing off...
top: Andrew Yun (hitting) playing with Cameron Wilson, Andre Dedecker and Wilson Bowen.
middle: Patrick Rodgers (hitting) playing with Marcel Puyat and Shane Lebow.
bottom: Steven Kearney (hitting) playing with David Chung and Patrick Grimes.
Without any further ado, here you can check out the scores from Round 1 of the "2012 Race to Hawaii":
This fantastic leaderboard was made possible by GameBook who enabled us to be the very first collegiate team with live scoring during a team qualifying event. It certainly added a great deal to the fun of the day, especially when birdies were flying on the back nine and the low round title came down to the last hole. Three birdies in a row on holes 16, 17 and 18 from Patrick Rodgers finally clinched it!
Live scoring of this event will continue for each and every day of this qualifying tournament.
Should you wish to follow the hole-by-hole scores from your home or office, please look out for a link to the live leaderboard via our www.facebook.com/stanfordmensgolf and www.twitter.com/stanfordmgolf message streams. Friends of Stanford Golf can also keep mobile and follow scores by downloading the GolfGameBook iphone app.
Here are some composite screenshots and hole by hole scores that you would then be able to see on your phone...
...35 birdies and 1 eagle!
