No. 6 Auburn women's golf concluded its 2025-26 season at the NCAA Championship, finishing 21st with a total score of 17-over (881) after a final round of 5-over 293. The team's performance fell short of the top 15 cut required to advance beyond the stroke play rounds. Head coach Melissa Luellen praised the team's growth despite the disappointing end and recognized seniors Carys Worby and Katie Cranston for their significant contributions. Worby had the highest individual finish for Auburn at 3-over, while sophomore Molly Brown Davidson delivered her best round at 1-under 71.

By the Numbers
  • Auburn finished the championship with a score of 17-over (881), placing 21st.
  • Carys Worby achieved a tied-for-51st individual finish at 3-over for the championship.
Yes, But

The team's 21st finish contrasts sharply with their successful season characterized by six tournament victories, making this finale feel anticlimactic despite overall achievements.

State of Play
  • Auburn ranked No. 6 in the nation and secured its 22nd NCAA Championship appearance this season.
  • Four individual tournament wins contributed to the team's overall success, with Anna Davis capturing low medalist honors at multiple events.
What's Next

Looking ahead, the Tigers aim to build on the lessons learned this season and return stronger, particularly with younger players spearheading the next campaign.

Bottom Line

Auburn women's golf may have concluded their season earlier than hoped, but the experiences from a record-setting year promise to shape a resilient future for the program.
