The Vanderbilt women's golf team finished in fourth place among an extraordinarily difficult field this weekend at the Mason Rudolph Golf Championship at the Vanderbilt Legends Club.

Vanderbilt sophomore Megan Grehan set a school record on Saturday with a 7-under-par score of 65 to put the team in third place at the end of play before Sunday.

The Commodores wound up as a team at 4-over-par, 18 strokes behind tournament champion UCLA, the No. 2 team in the nation. Top-ranked Southern California and No. 5 Oklahoma State rounded out the top three.

Vanderbilt was led in the tournament by freshman Marina Alex, who shot a 70 on the final day to put her at 4-under-par for the tournament. Grehan, buoyed by her sensational second day, finished in a tie for seventh place.

The team finished ahead of 13 other schools in a tournament featuring the top five women's golf programs in the country.

The women's team will be back in action next weekend at the Tar Heel Invitational at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

On the men's side of the Mason Rudolph, senior Jon Curran led Vanderbilt with a Sunday score of 68 to leave him at 8-under-par for the tournament and help him finish in a tie for second place.

Junior Hudson Johnson fired a Sunday round of 73 to put him at 1-over-par for the championship and a 16th place finish.

As a team, Vanderbilt shot 3-over-par and came in fifth out of 17 schools.

Southeastern Conference rival South Carolina won the team championship, beating second-place finisher Kentucky by eight strokes.
The Commodores have a few weeks until their next tournament on Oct. 24 at The Ridges in Johnson City, Tenn.
