Tigers Rally in Final Round at Suntree Country Club, Secure Fourth Victory of Season and Dedicate Win to Teammates Amid Cancer Fight
MELBOURNE, Fla. — No. 8 Auburn women’s golf delivered a championship-caliber performance Tuesday, rallying in the final round to capture the Moon Golf Invitational at Suntree Country Club. The Tigers carded a 7-under 857 to defeat No. 6 Texas A&M by three strokes, marking Auburn’s fourth tournament win of the season — its most since 2008-09.
In a field stacked with elite competition, Auburn outdueled 11 teams ranked inside the SCOREBOARD top 25, including four inside the top 10, underscoring the program’s emergence as a national contender.
“This was such a solid round of team golf,” head coach Melissa Luellen said. “The girls were hungry to win The Moon Golf Invitational because of all of the support that Anne and Dan Moon have shown our program and Auburn Athletics. We dedicate this win to Rachel Gourley and Brendan Valdes, to know that we are behind them in Brendan’s cancer fight.”
