Vanderbilt in Good Place After First Round: The Anchor, May 12, 2025

After one day of play at the 2025 Amherst NCAA Regional, No. 3-seed Vanderbilt finds itself in third place after being one of four teams to post Round 1 scores under par.

The Commodores turned in a 2-under par 278 teams score on Sunday, with senior Jackson Van Paris led the Commodores with a 3-under 67 and sophomore Chase Nevins had a 1-under 69 and led the team with six birdies in the opening round.

“It was a long day, but I’m proud of how our guys withstood it to get the first round in,” Thomas F. Roush, M.D., and Family Vanderbilt men’s golf head coach Scott Limbaugh said. “I felt like Jackson played great today and finished off with a great birdie on 18. It was big for us to watch that one go in.

Vanderbilt freshman Ryan Downes carded an even par score in his NCAA Regional debut. Wells Williams had a 2-over 72 round Sunday and John Broderick was 5-over par.
