FRANKLIN, Tenn. — The Richmond Spiders women’s golf team fired a 14-over 298 in the final round of the Mason Rudolph Classic Sunday to finish the 54-hole event in 13th place in a deep and talented 16-team field. Richmond’s 14-over Sunday was its best 18-hole score in the event and moved the Spiders two spots up the team leaderboard, with UR finishing at 49-over par — in front of Middle Tennessee (+53), Lipscomb (+55), and Georgia Southern (+63).
“It was a great experience playing in this challenging field,” said Spiders coach Calle Barlow. “We had a bit of a hard time getting putts to go in the hole, but I thought we handled ourselves so well and I’m excited to see where the rest of the fall takes us! This group is talented!”
Sophomore Katie Magner finished at 10-over par (223) to tie for 44th place, one shot in front of junior Maya Beasley, who tied for 49th. Both Magner and Beasley carded 3-over 74s Sunday.
Richmond’s two other team scores in Round 3 were provided by senior Hannah Lydic and freshman Addie Doroh, who both shot 4-over par (75). Lydic finished the event tied for 64th place at 14-over par (227) and Doroh tied for 71st at 16-over par (229).
Senior Olivia Wilkie placed 78th at 22-over par (235).
Richmond will return to action next month at the Pirate Collegiate Classic in Greenville, N.C. on Oct. 6-7.
