Bulldogs Win Mason Rudolph Championship
September 25, 2022 | Women's Golf
Franklin, Tenn. – Heading into Sunday's final round of the Mason Rudolph, the Bulldogs sat on the outside looking in as they faced a six-shot deficit in third-place. Through the first two rounds at the Vanderbilt Legends Club, State never wavered from their third-place perch. Led by a complete team effort down the stretch, the Bulldogs rallied to capture the 2022 Mason Rudolph Championship with a 19-under par (845) performance.
As a team, the Bulldogs recorded the fourth lowest third round in MSU history (7-under par). 19-under par is the fifth lowest tally after 54 holes as a team in school history. The Bulldogs defeated a loaded field that featured six ranked teams, including two in the top-25 and No. 6 ranked Ohio State
The No. 31 ranked Bulldogs used strong individual performances when they needed it the most from up and down the scorecard. Julia Lopez Ramirez and Izzy Pellot combined to play the last five holes at 6-under par to bring State to 7-under for the day at 19-under for the tournament, which built separation that resulted in a four-stroke win over Arizona and five strokes over No. Vanderbilt.
Lopez Ramirez was just 1-under on the day through 13 holes but played the last five holes at 5-under to record her 11th Round in the 60s in the Maroon and White (4-under, 66). The reigning SEC Freshman of the Year eagled the par-5 14th hole and after a par on the 15th, finished her round with three consecutive birdies to secure her ninth top-five finish, tying for fourth.
Hannah Levi was essential for State throughout the Mason Rudolph Championship. Through three consecutive rounds of par or better golf, Levi captured her fifth top-5 finish, joining Lopez Ramirez for fourth. Throughout the event, Levi rolled in 13 birdies (second-most).
Competing in her second career event, Izzy Pellot carded an even par (72) final round to finish tied for 11th with a 3-under par performance. Going back to the last tournament, Pellot has now recorded five straight rounds of par or better golf. Pellot added 14 pars on Sunday to finish with 43 pars (second most).
Ashley Gilliam added 16 pars in the final round, including 11 straight from holes 8-18 to finish with an even-par (72). Gilliam recorded her seventh top-20 finish as a Bulldog while sinking the most pars of the event with 44.
Abbey Daniel finished tied for 29th with a 4-over (76) final round. Daniel carded eight pars in the final round while adding three birdies.
Quoting Coach Ewing
On capturing the Mason Rudolph Championship
"This was such a fun battle with Arizona and Vanderbilt down the stretch today. Those are two fantastic, well-coached programs with a ton of talent. I could not be more excited of this team. I am so proud. They started the week with a strong intent to just do their jobs. Each one of them was focused on not only the team, but themselves and the standards we hold ourselves to. They trusted that it would be enough. Seeing them succeed together is so special and something I'll never take for granted as a coach. It's a very special feeling to win the Mason Rudolph Championship and a week that certainly we will all cherish for a long time. Hail State!"
