FRANKLIN, Tenn.—The 20th-ranked Chattanooga Mocs finished off the 2021 Mason Rudolph Championships with the low round of the weekend. The ladies made their way around the Vanderbilt Legends Club's North Course at 3-over 291. That gave the Mocs a 3-day total of 885.
Today's effort was led by freshman
Carolina Hortian. She exploded with six birdies today which more than doubled her total over the first two rounds. Her 2-under 70 was three ahead of
Beatriz Barrios and
Dorota Zalewska with 73s.
Esme Hamilton and
Megan Docherty were two behind that duo at 75.
Hamilton paced the squad with 220 over her 54 holes. Zalewska shook off a slow start to play her final 36 at 1 under for 222. Barrios and Hortian matched each other at 223 with Docherty coming in at 229.
"It's not the finish we wanted," Coach
Colette Murray observed. "It was a very strong field, and we just didn't play well enough. I believe we can take a lot of positives from it and grow in the coming months. If we see any of those teams in the postseason, we'll be prepared to compete with them at the highest level."
Oregon ran away with the team title behind Hsin-Yu Lu. The Ducks shot 838 with Lu's 17-under 199 winning medalist honors by six. Alabama finished second at 852.
Chattanooga is off until next Sunday in Virginia Beach, Va. It starts the 3-day, 54-hole Princess Anne Invitational at Princess Anne Country Club.

3 Notes to Know
- 6 birdies for Hortian is a season best for a Moc as was her 10 for the tournament.
- 15 birdies as a team tops the high 12 in the final round last Tuesday in Knoxville. 34 over the 54 holes is also a new high (30 at the Mercedes).
- 5 under on the par 5s was a key to the low score of the event. It matched the total over the first 90 holes of the season.
