Stanford's Mariah Stackhouse returns home for NCAAs
ATHENS, Ga. –- Stanford gets to spend a week in the life of freshman Mariah Stackhouse while at the NCAA Championship. The Stackhouse home is about 90 miles from the University of Georgia Golf Course, which was close enough for the Cardinal to pile in the team van early week and take in a home-cooked meal.
“Everybody was really excited to see where I had grown up,” Stackhouse said. She was just glad her bedroom was clean for the team visit.
Stackhouse shot a second-round, 4-under 68 on Wednesday that left her four shots behind Alabama’s Stephanie Meadow for the individual lead. Her only bogey was at No. 3.
Despite growing up so close to the championship venue, Stackhouse didn’t have green charts or tons of local knowledge to produce for head coach Anne Walker and the team this week. Rather than logging a lot of rounds here, Stackhouse mostly was a fixture at the Liz Murphey, Georgia’s annual spring tournament.
“None of the holes were new to me,” she said.
So Stackhouse warned her West Coast teammates that the air would be heavy this week, that if the rough wasn’t thick when they arrived, it wouldn ...
Under Brouse's orders, Purdue resumes march on NCAAs
ATHENS, Ga. –- Devon Brouse doesn’t have to say a word. The Purdue coach simply takes his rather powerful-looking stance, crosses his arms in front of his chest and gives a look. That look. The one that says he’s related to Gen. George S. Patton and expects his team to win the battle and the war.
“He gives our players a confidence and intensity with his presence that’s probably more valuable than words,” said Caroline Haase, a former Purdue player and current assistant coach.
Brouse’s looks are especially handy when he decides not to designate himself as one of two coaches during competition. The plan coming into the NCAA Championship was to let his two assistant coaches – Haase and Greg Robertson – coach all four rounds while Brouse watched from the sidelines. His wife, Kathy, was along for the ride, keeping him calm.
It’s an unusual strategy in the coaching world – not coaching, that is – but Brouse thinks senior Paula Reto plays best with someone walking 18 holes alongside her, and Robertson has proved to be an excellent caddie-coach. Haase rotates between the other players. On Wednesday, Brouse said Haase noticed senior Laura Gonzalez-Escallon got a little ...
Ringler: Is match play on horizon for NCAA women?
ATHENS, Ga. –- We are at the halfway point of this year’s NCAA Women’s Championship and, frankly, it has the potential to turn into a yawner. Does it matter to those making the decisions about the future of this championship whether the final two rounds result in a USC romp or a nail-biting finish similar to last year's?
Here is what I know and don’t know through 36 holes:
• I know that the women’s game has made no changes to its championship in recent years, while the men have completely redesigned their finals, going to a match-play format that has de-emphasized the individual portion of the championship and opened the victory door for more than just a small handful of teams.
• I don’t know for certain that the women’s game will change its format, although many sources suggest that might be on the horizon, largely because of the fact that the event will be televised in two years. And having the women and men at the same venue – The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla. – using the same match-play format in 2015 would seem only logical and look better to the casual observer.
• I ...
Sooners summon strength amid the pain from home
ATHENS, Ga. –- Oklahoma assistant Gerrod Chadwell said there’s an American Indian myth that tornadoes aren’t supposed to touch down between two rivers. People say that’s what has kept Norman, Okla., from suffering the fate of nearby Moore. But, as Chadwell said, “Mother Nature is Mother Nature.”
Moore and neighboring Norman, home to the University of Oklahoma, are a mere 10 miles apart. It’s tough to find someone in Norman who doesn’t know someone affected by the devastation in Moore.
Chadwell followed the tornado’s movement on his cellphone while on the range in Athens, Ga. The deadly tornado – it killed at least 24, injured hundreds and leveled 13,000 structures – tore down a path two miles from Chadwell’s Norman home.
When he later talked to his sister, Jeniece, the devastation hit even closer emotionally. Two years ago, Jeniece taught third grade at Plaza Towers, an elementary school demolished by the storm’s path.
“It’s hard to have any emotion,” Chadwell said on Tuesday, “hard to get fired up.”
No one in the Sooners’ starting lineup is an Oklahoma native, but Chirapat Jao-Javanil and her teammates consider Oklahoma an adopted home.
“I haven’t ...
Freshman Annie Park leads USC to 12-shot lead at NCAAs
ATHENS, Ga. -– Annie Park arrived for Round 1 of the NCAA Championship with Trojan red chalked into the bottom of her ombre braid, her nails neon orange. Team golf suits the 18-year-old.
Park, noticeable as she may be for these things, sticks out even more during play. She hits it zip codes ahead of her opponents. Most coaches and players name the University of Georgia Golf Course’s length as one of the greatest obstacles this week, but Park can hit every par 5 in two.
Behind Park’s second-round, 5-under 67 on Wednesday, the Trojans climbed to the top of the leaderboard. By the time first-round co-leader San Jose State had teed off, USC had built an eight-shot cushion with a 12-under 276. That’s a new 18-hole national-championship record.
Starting on the back nine, USC was 7 under on its round by the time Park, in the anchor position, made the turn. Credit two of those birdies to Park.
The first-semester freshman from Levittown, N.Y., couldn’t have arrived any earlier for head coach Andrea Gaston. USC was a slim team of five in the fall, and played only three tournaments before the holiday break. Park got ...
Oklahoma playing for those affected by massive tornado
ATHENS, Ga. –- Gerrod Chadwell grew up in Oklahoma but, miraculously, has yet to see a tornado. The Oklahoma assistant coach was named head coach of the inaugural University of Houston women’s golf team the same day a tornado ripped through his home state, two miles from his current home.
The emotional toll hit even closer when Chadwell talked to his sister, who two years ago taught third grade at Plaza Towers, an elementary school demolished by the storm’s path.
The heart-breaking news lends a different perspective to the week.
“It’s hard to have any emotion,” said Chadwell, “hard to get fired up.”
The Oklahoma coaches told their players there was no need for bad attitudes or hanging heads at the NCAA Championship. There are kids from Moore, Okla., who will never get this chance. Head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell and Chadwell were on the range in Athens tracking the tornado’s path on Monday. When they returned from dinner, players watched the news coverage and saw restaurants and movie theaters they frequent back home completely leveled. Norman, where Oklahoma University is located, is 10 miles from Moore.
“We have friends who have lost a lot of things and ...
De Guzman leads way as San Jose State shares NCAA lead with USC
ATHENS, Ga. — Regan de Guzman doesn’t know her driver specs by heart. The club has only been in her bag for two weeks, but Tuesday it led de Guzman outside the fairway just once – on the 18th hole.
The new driver also led de Guzman to the top of the individual leaderboard in the first round of the NCAA Championship. De Guzman shot 5-under 67 at the University of Georgia Golf Course, which, as head coach John Dormann will tell you, is a lot easier to do from the middle of the fairway.
“Everything starts there for women’s golf,” Dormann said.
De Guzman’s old driver, one she’d had for five years, recently developed a mysterious dent in the head, which made De Guzman nervous. The young Filipino was so attached to the club that she would even jokingly talk to it, hoping to keep it working properly. “Are you thirsty? Do you want water?” She considered buying a new one, but instead asked Dormann to help her find a replacement. Enter the Titleist 910D3 (with 8.5 degrees of loft and an extra stiff shaft). It left another San Jose State bag – that of men’s ...
Miss. St. coach: Time to 'annihilate every record'
ATHENS, Ga. — Sometimes the simple things can mean a lot. For Mississippi State, you might say something as simple as a final-round SEC Championship pairing with Alabama, the defending national champions, turned the season around. After 36 holes at SECs, the Bulldogs found themselves trailing the Crimson Tide by 12 shots, and that earned them the right to play with the Crimson Tide in the final round.
“You can’t buy that sort of pairing at such a critical time in the program,” Mississippi State head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said.
Despite stumbling late on the final day, Mississippi State recorded its best conference finish since 2000. The experience gained in that final round might have helped the team again in regional play. The Bulldogs were the No. 19 seed in the NCAA Central Regional but finished third to earn a spot in the 24-team NCAA Championship.
In the opening round, Mississippi State posted a 12-over 300 led by Ally McDonald’s 2-under 70. The Bulldogs sit alone in 19th place, while McDonald is tied for fourth place.
“Getting to play with the defending national champions at the SECs prepared us for that emotionally,” Brown-Lemm said. “We were able to see ...
Nagel's comeback leads Michigan State into NCAAs
ATHENS, Ga. – When Liz Nagel was in the midst of an iodine treatment for thyroid cancer earlier this year, her goldendoodle Dolly carried a lunch pale into her bedroom each afternoon. Michigan State’s Nagel was, at the time, radioactive and confined to her bedroom. She was also restricted to disposable dishware. No one could get within 5 feet.
There’s still a touch of iodine in Nagel’s system, but not enough to do anyone else harm. Few players in this week’s NCAA Championship field fought as hard as 21-year-old Nagel to get here. Even fewer would have her attitude.
“What better motivation to have than a team that needs you,” Michigan State coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll said. “A good team, too.”
Nagel doesn’t want to be seen as the cancer patient, but the truth is she won’t know for another eight months whether she’s cancer-free. She’s not willing to waste a day waiting around.
It was last November that Nagel came to a Friday workout in East Lansing with a nasty cough. Slobodnik-Stoll urged Nagel to walk 20 steps to the team doctor’s office. Nagel balked, saying he’d just offer her Mucinex ...
5 Things: Alabama women take winning streak to Athens
ATHENS, Ga. – Standing on the first hole with Alabama during Monday’s practice round for the NCAA Women’s Championship was a lesson in accuracy.
The Crimson Tide’s tee shots came loudly and in quick succession, and landed in a tight group across the middle of the fairway. Head coach Mic Potter had his players on a brisk pace around the University of Georgia Golf Course as the sun burned off a morning haze and dried out damp greens.
Alabama is aiming for national title No. 2 this week, season victory No. 8 and consecutive victory No. 6. Potter says the latter two stats are more relevant than the first. Last year is last year.
“That really has nothing to do with what we may or may not do this year, other than that if you store those positive experiences . . . it’s definitely something to build on,” Potter said. “I think the main thing in golf is you always attend to the shot at hand, do the best you can with it and do that all day long.”
Senior Jennifer Kirby, and juniors Stephanie Meadow and Hannah Collier return from Alabama’s 2012 national-championship team. This year the team ...
Alabama, Stephanie Meadow top picks for NCAA D-I championships

Beth Ann Baldry
Team: We’re in the South, which means a hot team like Alabama feels right at home in nearby Athens, Ga. The Tide have won seven titles this season, including the NCAA East Regional and the SEC Championship. With junior Stephanie Meadow playing some of the best golf of her young career, Team 'Bama should be brimming with confidence.
If they couldn’t return to Nashville, site of their first NCAA crown, head coach Mic Potter said the University of Georgia’s course is the next best place. Expect familiarity to play a key role during the next four days.
Individual winner: Georgia’s Emilie Burger will be flying solo this week on her home course, making this a bittersweet experience for the senior from Hoschton, Ga. No one in the field, however, has as much local knowledge as Burger.
She’s ranked 16th by Golfweek and has two victories this season ...
Senior Emilie Burger makes the most of her 4-year Georgia career
ATHENS, Ga. –- Hands folded behind her head, reclined in a tall office chair, Emilie Burger shouts out of the golf office at the University of Georgia Golf Course, “Hey coach, check this out!”
Head coach Josh Brewer comes around the corner and, smiling, shakes his head at his player as she sits behind his desk. It’s from this position, ninth green visible over her right shoulder, that Burger answers questions on the eve of the national championship, which happens to be taking place in her backyard.
A framed white caddie bib emblazoned with Burger’s name leans against the wall in the corner of Brewer’s office, but Burger takes up much more real estate here than that. The senior has been the face of Georgia women’s golf this year. Younger teammates call her “Grammy,” and there are a lot of those. Five freshmen joined the Georgia roster in the fall, and Burger, an athletic 5-feet-9-inch blonde, knew it was her responsibility to set an example for them.
When Burger found out that former head coach Kelley Hester wouldn’t return for Burger’s senior season, she sat down with Georgia Athletic Director Greg McGarity. Coaches and players ...

Dulman brings a spark and a smile to Rollins roster
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Annie Dulman was less than 100 miles from the dorm room she knows as home in Winter Park, Fla., but the NCAA Division II Women’s National Championship still was an exhausting trip. By the time the Rollins freshman reached the 17th fairway in the fourth and final round, there was little gas in the tank. On a sweltering day at LPGA International, Dulman pulled the pink towel from her golf bag and laid prone in the middle of the fairway, shading her face until it was her turn to hit.
Dulman capped her freshman season with a T-9 (12-over 300) at the national championship, where she played as an individual. Rollins, ranked third by Golfstat, wasn’t able to advance out of a loaded South Regional that included the top three finishers at the national championship –- Lynn, Nova Southeastern and Barry. Dulman, however was a good respresentative for the Tars.
It’s been a whirlwhind season for the Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., native, who said she first considered Rollins because she was looking for a place with warm weather. It helped that mom Laura, Annie’s swing coach, already knew Rollins head coach Julie Garner. Laura ...
Lynn edges Nova Southeastern at D-II national championship
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The conclusion of the NCAA Division II Women’s Championship felt more like a trip to the water park than the end of a golf tournament. There wasn’t a dry eye Saturday afternoon among the Lynn University contingent after the Fighting Knights narrowly edged an equally emotional Nova Southeastern team.
There also wasn’t a cooler within reach of the Barry squad that wasn’t raided in order to properly douse individual champion Nancy Vergara.
“Amazing,” Vergara, a sophomore, said at the end of the day. “After a hot day, even better.”
The final round of the national championship was stifling amid the lush foliage that lines LPGA International’s Legends Course. Pressure was high, too, as defending champion Nova Southeastern led Lynn by a single shot entering the final round.
Vergara, the Venezuela native, trailed by one shot entering the final round, but shot 3-over 75 Saturday for a 3-over 291 total and a one-shot victory. She had to make a 6-foot putt at the last to do it.
Vergara sunk that putt, then ducked out of the way of the Nova-Lynn battle that had been swirling around her all day. Those two teams, both ...
