Stanford, who played for TCU from 1996 to 2000 under head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin, returns to her alma mater after a successful professional career that included seven LPGA Tour victories and one major title at the 2018 Evian Championship when she was 40.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
