FRANKLIN, Tenn. – It was moving day at the Mason Rudolph Championship, and the Auburn women's golf team made their move Saturday, shooting 4-under as a team in the second round and jumping five spots into a tie for fifth on the leaderboard.
Four of the five Auburn players shot par or better on the day.
The low round came from junior Megan Schofill who fired a 70 (-2) with three birdies. Schofill has now shot par or better in four of her five rounds this season and in 28 rounds for her career. She's currently tied for 18th individually.
Sophomore Anna Foster followed her 70 (-2) from the first round with a 1-under 71 on Saturday and at 3-under through two rounds, she's in a tie for eighth overall. The highlight of the day came on Hole No. 14, a Par 5, where Foster made another eagle – her third of the tournament. Only nine total eagles have been made, and Foster has three of them.
Senior Mychael O'Berry finished in the red Saturday with a 71 (-1) while fellow senior Julie McCarthy carded an even-par 72. The duo combined to make seven birdies. McCarthy is tied for 36th at 2-over, and O'Berry is two shots back (+4) and tied for 42nd.
