Davis, Schofill to kick off 2024 Curtis Cup on Friday

AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn sophomore Anna Davis and alumnus Megan Schofill will represent the United States in the 2024 Curtis Cup beginning on Friday at Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England. The USGA announced that the Tigers would be two of the eight players on the U.S. team on Aug. 12.

The Curtis Cup is an amateur women’s team event played bi-annually between an American team and a team representing Great Britain and Ireland. The Red, White and Blue leads the all-time series 31-8-3. The last Auburn golfer to be selected to a Curtis Cup team was Cydney Clanton in 2010. That year, Clanton secured two wins in a winning effort for the American team.

The three-day event will begin after an opening ceremony takes place on Thursday. Friday and Saturday will feature three foursome matches and three four-ball matches. On the final day, eight singles matches are played. One full point is awarded for a win and a half-point is awarded for ties.

Davis earned second team All-American and second team All-SEC honors during her freshman season after participating in all eight of the Tigers’ tournaments this spring. She captured a top-5 finish at the SEC Championship and won low medalist at the NCAA Auburn Regional by three shots at 5-under (211). The Auburn sophomore holds a World Amateur Golf Ranking of 16th.

Schofill finished her collegiate career with a WGCA All-American honorable mention and a second team All-SEC selection in 2023-24. She led the Tigers with a 71.65 scoring average in her final season and holds the lowest career scoring average in program history at 72.01 (minimum 60 rounds). The four-time All-SEC selection is currently the 24^th ranked amateur in the world.
