Vanderbilt One Shot Back of Advancing: The Anchor, May 7, 2025

Vanderbilt women’s golf posted the second-lowest total in the Tuesday’s second of the NCAA Championship Regional at Keene Trace Golf Club in Lexington, Ky.

The Commodores shot a 6-under 282 to climb into sixth place (a four spot jump after the first round) and are just one shot behind TCU for the last qualifying spot.

“That’s the team we’ve been waiting to see since about mid-February,” Vanderbilt coach Greg Allen said. “I was so encouraged to see us clean up what we didn’t do very well yesterday. We found fairways and took advantage of the par fives today. It was a team effort from start to finish.”

Florida State leads the regional at a commanding 14-under followed by Georgia Southern at 5-under. Kansas State sits third at even-par, Southern Cal in fourth at 2-over and TCU fifth at 6-over.

“We have some momentum after today and talked about how we need to use that advantage tomorrow,” Allen said. “There will certainly be some uncomfortable moments throughout the day and we just need to embrace that. We were in a very similar position last year in College Station, so we have that experience to lean back on.”

The first Commodore will begin play at 7 a.m. CT in Wednesday’s final round.
