ABOUT CHATTANOOGA GOLF
CHATTANOOGA---Well that didn't take long. The Chattanooga Mocs left Tennessee's Mercedes-Benz Collegiate on Tuesday and take the tee Friday morning at the Vanderbilt Legends Club for the Mason Rudolph Championships. The ladies do so with the momentum of a strong start in Knoxville.
The Mocs finished tied for third behind runner-up individual performances by
Esme Hamilton and
Dorota Zalewska. The duo shot 2-under 211 which led to further honors yesterday claiming Southern Conference co-Golfer of the Week.
Chattanooga topped sister school and host Tennessee (2 strokes), Texas Tech (4) and Maryland (5). Other notable wins include Virginia Tech (7 shots), ETSU (9), defending champ Kent State (14), Middle Tennessee (16) and Mercer (26). You can
read about it here.
This weekend's trip to Nashville is nothing new for the program. It's eighth time the Mocs competed in the event and third trip for juniors Hamilton and Zalewska. Hamilton led the team's efforts the last time there with a 2-over 218 which tied for 14th in a strong field.
