No. 9 Aggies Shoot Historic -12 in Final Round of Mason Rudolph Championship
Sep 22, 2024 | Women's Golf
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – The No. 9 Texas A&M women's golf team fired a 12-under 276 Sunday to wrap up the Mason Rudolph Championship at the Legends Club. Sunday's outing tied for the fifth lowest round in program history and the best of any team in the field in the third round.
"That was a glimpse into what this group can do together," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "That round was encouraging to see and showed the girls that they can contend if they clean up the little things. That was what we were looking for all week, and I know we have more days like that ahead."
The Aggies jumped three spots on the team leaderboard into ninth and shot 11-under 853 for the tournament. The Maroon & White have posted three rounds of 12-under or lower during the Chadwell era. The 54-hole mark also tied for the 10th lowest score in school history.
The -12 in the third round was sparked by preseason All-Americans Adela Cernousek and Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio who both turned in 5-under 67 scorecards. Cernousek tied for seventh individually with a 9-under 207 and posted her seventh straight top-10 performance, dating back to last season. Fernández García-Poggio took home a share of 12th for the second top-15 outing of her sophomore campaign after shooting 7-under 209 at the tourney.
Freshman Vanessa Borovilos rebounded from her first two rounds with a 2-under 70 and finished tied for 80th. Kynadie Adams and Lauren Nguyen rounded out the lineup tied for 56th and 68th, respectively.
Up Next
Texas A&M returns to the course in the Bahamas for the White Sands Invitational Oct. 18-20. Lana Calibuso-Kwee, Sky Sudberry and Mia Nixon play at the Bearkat Invitational Sept. 23-24 as individuals.
