Vanderbilt men, Southern California women claim East Lake Cup titles



   They are two of the marquee names in college golf, Vanderbilt among the men and Southern California among the women, and they walked away with East Lake Cup victories Wednesday.
   It means nothing in a lot of ways because there will be a whole spring full of golf before the NCAA Championship is decided at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla.
   But in many ways it means a lot, too. You play against top-notch competition, you play with television camera people scurrying around, your friends back on campus are filling up your Twitter timeline because they’re watching you on TV, and you’re playing match play under pressure and there’s just no duplicating that in stroke-play tournaments.
   If would be surprising if any of the four men’s and four women’s teams gathered in Atlanta are not in the field when the NCAA Championship is decided in Stillwater.
   Reigning Southeast Conference champion Vanderbilt, No. 11 in the latest Golfstat rankings, edged reigning Big Ten champion Illinois, ranked 10th, 3-0-2, denying the Illini’s bid for a third straight East Lake Cup victory.
   The Commodores got two outright wins at the top of their lineup as Will Gordon, a junior from Davidson, N.C., defeated Michael Feagles, a sophomore from Scottsdale, Ariz., 2 and 1, and Harrison Ott, a freshman from Brookfield, Wis., edged Brandon O’Reilly a freshman from Hinsdale, Ill., 1-up.
   It was a pretty good week for Gordon, who captured medalist honors in qualifying with an even-par 72 in tough conditions over the 7,430-yard, par-72 East Lake layout, home to the PGA Tour Championship, and then won two matches.
   Vanderbilt got a third outright victory form John Augenstein, a sophomore from Owensboro, Ky. who defeated Giovanni Tadiotto, a sophomore from Belgium, 4 and 3.
   Vanderbilt also got halves with Illinois’ top two players as Patrick Martin, a junior from Birmingham, Ala., finished all square with the Illini’s Nick Hardy, a senior from Northbrook, Ill. and the No. 14 player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, and Theo Humphrey, a senior from Greenwich, Conn. and No. 15 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, finished all square with Dylan Meyer, a senior from Evansville, Ind. and No. 7 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
   A year ago Vanderbilt arrived at East Lake as the No. 1 team in the country and proceeded to lose two matches. The Commodores remained confident in their abilities and still reached the final four at Rich Harvest Farms. Still, winning at East Lake is a nice foundation to build on.
   Reigning national champion Oklahoma, ranked 12th, got a little consolation with a 4-1 victory over No. 38 Oregon, the reigning Pacific 12 Conference champion, in the third-place match.
   The most impressive win for the Sooners came from Blaine Hale, a junior from Dallas who rolled to a 6 and 5 victory over Norman Xiong, a sophomore form Canyon Lake, Calif. and No. 6 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
   Other match winners for Oklahoma were Garett Reband, a sophomore from Fort Worth, Texas, Riley Casey, a sophomore form  Abilene, Texas, and Brad Dalke, a junior from Norman, Okla.
   The 12th-ranked Southern Cal women edged Pac-12 rival Stanford, ranked fifth, 3-2, in a match that probably turned when the Trojans' Muni He, a sophomore from San Diego, Calif., surged to a 3 and 2 victory over Andrea Lee, a sophomore from Hermosa Beach, Calif. and the No. 5 player in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking.
   He was was 2-down to Lee, the top freshman in the country last year, after eight holes before rattling off wins at nine, 11, 12, 13 and 14 to turn that two-hole disadvantage into a 3-up lead. He had an eagle and three birdies in the midst of that stretch.
   The Trojans also got a big week from Robynn Ree, a junior from Redondo Beach, Calif. All Ree did was claim medalist honors in qualifying with a 2-under 70 over an East Lake course that measured 6,206 yards for the gals and won two matches, including a hard-fought 1-up win over Shannon Aubert, a senior from Stuart, Fla. who was the qualifying medalist in the U.S. Women’s Amateur at San Diego Country Club last summer, in Wednesday’s title match.
   Southern Cal’s other point came in the anchor match as Divya Mathena, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif. and a transfer from Siena.  Mathena defeated Madie Chou, a sophomore from Santa Ana, Calif., 4 and 2.
   Stanford got a point from its top gun, Albane Valenzuela, a sophomore from Switzerland who is No. 3 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking. She rolled to a 4 and 2 victory over Alyaa Abdulghany, a freshman from Newport Beach, Calif.
   The Cardinal’s other point came from Ziyi Wang, a sophomore from China who cruised to a 5 and 4 decision over Allisen Corpuz, a sophomore from Honolulu, Hawaii.
   The third Pac-12 team in the field at East Lake, reigning national champion Arizona State, ranked seventh, took the third-place match, 2-1-2, over No. 10 Northwestern out of the Big 10.
   Olivia Mehaffey, a sophomore from Ireland and No. 14 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking, capped a strong week with a match win and the Sun  Devils got another outright win from Sophia Zeeb, a  senior from Germany.
   Linnea Strom, a junior from Sweden and No. 9 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking, and Roberta Liti, a sophomore from Italy, battled to draws in their matches.
   With the three teams at East Lake and UCLA rising to No. 1 in the latest Golfstat rankings, the Pac-12 is going to be fascinating to watch unfold in the spring.
