Bob Cardinal - 1947

Cardinal_BobBob Cardinal was a letter winner 1946, 1947. He was a member of the 1946 national championship team. He is a member of the Stanford Hall of Fame. Teammate Bob Rosburg said "Cardinal was a legend among golfers in SF.''

The 1946 Stanford team was a powerhouse group that won the Pacific Coast Conference title by 39 strokes a few weeks before it was expected to head to Princeton to compete for what could be a 5th national championship under the leadership of famed coach Eddie Twiggs. It included future PGA Tour great Bob Rosburg, Frank McCann and Jack Shuler who were at first denied by the athletic department the chance to compete based on the hard times that existed after WWII.

The team raised funds themselves to make the trip, a total of $425 each - see the articles below about the controversy. Stanford made the trip and won by 5 strokes over runner-up Michigan led by Frank McCann's 6th place finish individually.
