Stanford Athletics: Stanford sophomore Michael Thorbjornsen concluded play at the NCAA Championships on Monday at Grayhawk Golf Club, firing a 1-over 71 to tie for 32nd. The Cardinal finished 18th at the championship but failed to make the cut on Sunday, but Thorbjornsen was one of the top nine individuals not on an advancing team to play the fourth and final round of stroke play on Monday.

Thorbjornsen was named Ping All-Region on Sunday. He played 38 rounds this season and had a scoring average of 70.66, the 10th-best in program history for a single season.

Stanford men's golf saw its season come to a conclusion with an 18th-place finish at NCAA Championships on Sunday, but sophomore Michael Thorbjornsen will play in Monday's final round at Grayhawk Golf Club as an advancing individual.

"Michael has had a solid week and tomorrow is the reward for his play over the last three rounds," Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf Conrad Ray said. "We are looking forward to him capping off his strong sophomore season on a high note during Monday's final round."

"I think the story of our day was too many 'others'," Ray said. "We've done a good job up to this point of not making doubles and triples, but we just had too many on front nine, and from some pretty reasonable spots too. That's the frustrating part. I think the guys will look back on this round when the dust settles and wish they had a few of those shots back.
