Feeling Prestigious - Stanford Cardinal

LA QUINTA, Calif. — With high winds forcing a cancellation of play for the third round of The Prestige, Stanford men’s golf earned its first tournament win in nearly two years being crowned champions after 36 holes of action. Stanford, which held a three-stroke lead through two rounds, earns its first tournament victory since the 2023-24 season when the Cardinal took home the win at The Western Intercollegiate in April 2024. 

Stanford, which was coming off a strong outing in Hawaii to begin the spring slate, snagged the lead on Tuesday’s second round with a brilliant display of golf from all five Cardinal. Having tied for fourth overall after Monday’s opening round, Stanford was one of four programs to shoot under par in the second round, earning the second-best score of the day at 5-under. 

It was not all smooth sailing to begin the second round for Stanford with the Cardinal amassing a 7-over team score through three holes. However, Stanford dug deep and rattled off 18 birdies during the second round to eek out the 5-under card. 

TK Chantananuwat and Dean Greyserman finished the tournament as co-runners up individually at 3-under overall, just two shots back of Oregon’s Aiden Krafft for the individual lead. Chantananuwat and Greyserman both turned in cards in the 60s on Tuesday with the former serving as Stanford’s lead score at 4-under for the round. Greyserman and Chantananuwat both earned their highest collegiate finishes to a tournament tied for second. 

Edan Cui and Nathan Wang also earned top-20 placements following the tournament’s abrupt end. Wang, who helped guide Stanford back into the title race with six of Stanford’s 18 birdies on Tuesday snags his sixth career top-20 finish and his second of the season while Cui earns his second top-20 finish in just his sixth collegiate tournament. Jay Leng also shot well for the tournament, ending week in 50th following a 1-over round on Tuesday. With the win, Stanford claimed The Prestige team title for the third time in the tournament’s history, having claimed the trophy in 2006 and 2014. Stanford has also boasted four individual champions at the team event.
