FRANKLIN, Tenn. – It was moving day for the No. 13 Auburn women's golf team Saturday as the Tigers climbed five spots into fifth place after shooting a 287 (-1) in the second round of the Mason Rudolph Championship at the Vanderbilt Legends Club – North Course (Par 72, 6,430 yards).
Auburn, whose five golfers combined to make a total of 18 birdies on the day, was one of just four teams to finish below par for the round.
Twelve of those 18 birdies came from the trio of Mychael O'Berry, Kaleigh Telfer and Megan Schofill, who each made four apiece and who all carded scores under par. O'Berry led the way with a 2-under 70 while both Telfer and Schofill shot a 71 (-1).
Schofill and fellow teammate Brooke Sansom are currently tied for 13th on the player leaderboard at 1 over through the first two rounds. Sansom followed her 70 (-2) from the first round with a 75 (+3) on Saturday. Meanwhile, juniors O'Berry and Telfer are one shot back at 2 over and in a tie for 20th overall.
Senior Elena Hualde Zúñiga, who birdied three of the last five holes on the back nine Saturday, finished with a 75 (+3) in each of the first two rounds and is currently tied for 46th.
