Stanford senior Sally Watson is representing her native Scotland in the 2012 Women's World Amateur Team Championship in Antaya, Turkey. The four-day event includes daily rounds on one of Gloria Golf Club's two courses for a 72-hole stroke play event spanning September 27-30.

Watson, an honorable mention All-Pac-12 and first-team All-Pac-12 All-Academic selection in 2012, will be providing updates for gostanford.com throughout the event.

ANTAYA, Turkey - Today was the second round of the World Golf Team Championship and Scotland played on the New Course with New Zealand and Austria.

I had the opportunity to play with Lydia Ko who is currently the No. 1 ranked female amateur in the world. It was a very interesting experience and enjoyable as both Lydia and the Austrian girl, Anya, were friendly girls. I also played much better today which helps to make the experience even more fun, shooting 70 (-2).

After the round we came back to the hotel and relaxed for a few hours before dinner. Although the Ryder Cup is not on TV in Turkey (or not on the hotel's TVs), we managed to find a website (thank goodness) that is streaming it and so after dinner we watched the Ryder Cup together which is always inspiring. Come on Europe!
