Vanderbilt men win close, Auburn women win big at East Lake Cup

From a hole-out victory to a sudden-death playoff, the women’s semifinals at the East Lake Cup were littered with drama, but the Auburn Tigers made sure that wasn’t the case Wednesday when they throttled Texas A&M 5-0 in the final.

It was over early in Atlanta, as Auburn jumped out to big leads on the front nine and never looked back.

Casey Weidenfeld, who won the deciding playoff that sent the Tigers to the championship match, went out first in the final and defeated A&M’s Zoe Slaughter, 3 and 1.

Weidenfeld birdied her first two holes Wednesday afternoon to set the tone early.
