Elon Women’s Golf Finishes Third, Vadkerti Ties for Sixth at Elon Invitational

BURLINGTON, N.C. – Adel Vadkerti finished tied for sixth overall with an even 213 as Elon University women’s golf concluded its inaugural Elon Invitational on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at Alamance Country Club.

FINAL RESULTS

Elon’s A team spent most of the day neck-and-neck with Wofford, but the Phoenix finished third with a three-round total of 879 (+27). College of Charleston turned in a three-under par 281 through the final round to seal the team title. The Cougars combined for an 11-under 841, while CofC’s Jodee Tindal secured the individual title with a seven-under 206. The Terriers pulled past the Phoenix late, taking second place with a plus-23 875. Wofford’s Becca Earl shot a four-under 209 for the runner-up trophy.

“Although our results were not what I had expected, the first annual Elon Invitational was a great success due to all the help from the Elon familly and the staff at Alamance Country Club,” said head coach Chris Dockrill.
