The Auburn women’s golf team finished the first two rounds of the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Invitational on Mar. 23 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, placing tenth with a score of 27-over-par 587 after 36 holes.
The event is important for Auburn as it features strong competition and gives the team an opportunity to improve its standing in national rankings. Head coach Melissa Luellen said, “It was a long day on a very challenging and prestigious golf course, and we didn’t have our best performance. That said, we’re learning from today and staying locked in as a team. We have 18 holes left tomorrow and a great opportunity to move up. We’re excited to get back out there and fight.”
Sophomore Molly Brown Davidson led Auburn with an opening round of one-over-par 71 before shooting six-over-par 76 in the second round. Junior Anna Davis posted scores of four-over-par 74 followed by three-over-par 73. Carys Worby improved her play by following up an opening-round six-over-par 76 with a one-over-par 71. All three players are tied for thirty-fourth individually.
Freshman Charlotte Cantonis recorded two birdies during her first round, finishing at three-over-par 73 before carding six-over-par 76 in the second round; she is tied for fifty-fourth place. Senior Katie Cranston contributed a counting score with three-over-par 73 in the first round but slipped to seven-over-par 77 in the afternoon session; she stands tied for fifty-ninth.
