“Playing golf at Stanford has had the most incredible effect on my life and career. It was always so special to have our hard work throughout the year culminate into the opportunity to compete for a national championship. I’m grateful to be a part of the CWGC Foundation and play a small role in continuing to elevate that championship experience for today and tomorrow’s student-athletes.” Marissa Mar
