Schofill in top five after round one at SEC Championship

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Auburn senior Megan Schofill leads the team through the first round of stroke play at the 2023 SEC Championship with a 2-under 71, which included a hole-in-one on her second hole of the day. As a team, Auburn finished the round in a tie for seventh place with a 294 (+6).
 
"A lot of good golf today highlighted by Megan [Schofill]'s ace on the second hole," Auburn head coach Melissa Luellen said after the opening round. "An uncharacteristic finish for us. Tomorrow is moving day and we are looking forward to it."
 
Schofill's ace on No. 2, her second eagle of the season, marks the second hole-in-one made by an Auburn golfer this season as Elina Sinz holed a tee shot during the opening round of the Mason Rudolph Championship in September. The Monticello, Florida native also recorded her team-best 11th round under par this season.
