Don Wilson: Stanford Wins Golf NCAA Championship

Congratulations to the Stanford Golf Team. They won the NCAA Championship. Stanford last one it back in 1994...

"Life works out in interesting ways, because all we did all year was try not to talk about the results, let's just worry about the stuff we can control," said Ray. "I think this team really bought into that, and were able to do that all year, and today it worked out again. It was a real gutty performance, and I'm real proud of the guys."

When asked about what ended up being the 13-shot victory after starting the day up only two, Ray credited both his players and the course.

"I think it's a testament to the golf course," he said. "This is just an awesome place to hold a championship like this, because it rewards good shots, but if you get too aggressive and greedy, it'll penalize you in a heartbeat. Our game plan all week was to play the percentage plays - hit it in the center green, take two putts, if you get a good look at a birdie knock it in, keep the ball out of the water on the par threes.

"We were really able to do that most of the week, and I think that's probably the reason we see the scores the way they are."
