Vanderbilt women’s golf had a solid outcome this week.
Vanderbilt women’s golf finished third at its event at The Ally, with a score of 5-under. Vanderbilt finished one stroke above Ole Miss, who finished in fourth place at the tournament. Vanderbilt’s Elizabeth Rudisill led the Commodores as she went 4-under and finished eighth place on the player leaderboard.
“We certainly didn’t have our best today, but I’m proud of the effort and attitude we played with,” said head coach Greg Allen. “Old Waverly played tough today.”
On the final day of the tournament, it was Ava Merrill who shined for Vanderbilt as she finished even-par on Wednesday. Sara Im finished in 18th on the player leaderboard as she finished 1-over at The Ally.

The Commodores won event championships at the Mason Rudolph Championship and the Ron Moore Invitational. The spring season includes four more events that begin in February and run through the end of March. The SEC Championships are scheduled to begin April 17.
The Commodores return to play Feb. 1-3 at the Puerto Rico Classic.

“In the SEC it was just lean, mean and keen something Bear Bryant made famous in the SEC. I wasn’t, but I did get to 225 pounds as a sophomore. I was tall [6-foot-5], but not bulky. I did a lot of scrabble blocking where you didn’t hit a player in his numbers, but got into their legs and carried them five yards down the field.”
