Vanderbilt Ladies’s Golf | Commodores Win Mason Rudolph Championship

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt girls’s golf captured its fifth Mason Rudolph Championship at Vanderbilt Legends Club on Sunday, executing an eight-stroke comeback within the last 18 holes. The Commodores closed the event with a 6-under-par last spherical to finish 15-under over 54 holes.

“What a day and what a great comeback,” head coach Greg Allen exclaimed. “It’s not always easy to play at home and our girls handled it very well. I’m so proud of how we never once stopped competing this weekend.”

Four Commodores completed throughout the particular person prime six this weekend, led by Ava Merrill who completed runner-up. Merrill capped off a 6-under event complete with a 1-over-par 72 on Sunday. Her back-to-back birdies on No. 17 and 18 sealed the comeback for Vanderbilt over Mississippi State.

Elizabeth Rudisill earned her first top-five end as a Commodore, tying for fourth individually with a 5-under-par 66 last spherical. Rudisill holed out for eagle on the par-4 eighth gap and nailed one other on the par-5 18th for her third of the weekend.

“This was such a great team effort, and we got big rounds today from Rudy and Tillie,” stated Allen. “We stayed patient and knew we had three par 5s to play coming down the stretch and we played them 8-under.”

Tillie Claggett carded a 3-under-par last spherical 68, holing six birdies on her solution to a sixth-place particular person end. Competing as a person, Angelina Tolentino went 2-over on the ultimate 18 to deliver her event complete to 3-under par, tying for sixth as properly.

Kathryn Ha completed thirteenth individually and went 1-over-par with a birdie on No. 18 in Sunday’s last spherical. Lynn Lim fought off a tricky begin to submit a 76 to spherical out the lineup. Other Commodore people have been Jayden Jevnick with a 78 and Macie Brown with an 82.

Vanderbilt’s victory marks its second Mason Rudolph title previously three years. The Commodores’ three-day complete of 837 strokes is the bottom 54-hole rating in program historical past on the occasion. The Dores led the sphere with 4 eagles, 59 birdies, and a 4.62 par-5 common. Five Commodores completed with double-digit birdies.

The Commodores edged forward of Mississippi State on Sunday by two strokes, whereas North Carolina completed third, 21 pictures again. Mississippi State’s Sam Whateley claimed the person title at 9-under par.

“We are very grateful to the staff at Legends for all the long hours they have put in the past two weeks,” stated Allen. “They hosted a successful Simmons Bank Open last week and made this weekend a special time for all the teams. They have put in some very long hours, and we are very thankful for them.”

Vanderbilt returns to the course on October 4 to compete on the annual Ron Moore Intercollegiate in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, a event the Dores gained in 2022.
