AUBURN, Ala. – No. 5 Auburn women’s golf is set to participate in the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate on Monday through Wednesday at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

“Long Cove Club is a Pete Dye golf course,” Auburn head coach Melissa Luellen said. “It’s a fantastic course with no letup. On every shot, you have to have your head in it, know exactly what you’re doing and be fully committed. There are a lot of thin lies because things haven’t really grown in yet. In early spring, conditions are always tough. Around the greens, they are crowned and balls can easily roll off into tight lies.”

The Tigers enter the event with momentum after winning each of their last two tournaments at the UCF Challenge and the Moon Golf Invitational. Auburn has won four events this season, its most since the 2008-09 campaign.

Auburn is a regular in the field and will be making its 13th appearance in the event. The Tigers finished eighth in the 17-team field last season.

Freshman Charlotte Cantonis was named SEC Freshman of the Week for the second time this season following the Moon Golf Invitational, where she carded her second round of 65 this season during the second round of play. Cantonis has four top-10 finishes and a 72.00 scoring average this season.

Molly Brown Davidson recorded her highest finish of the season at the Moon Golf Invitational, placing runner-up with a 54-hole score of 213 (3-under).

The Auburn lineup will feature Cantonis, Davidson, Anna Davis, Carys Worby and Katie Cranston.

Auburn will be joined in the 17-team field by 10 other programs ranked in the SCOREBOARD Top 25: No. 6 Wake Forest, No. 8 Arkansas, No. 9 Texas, No. 12 Duke, No. 14 Vanderbilt, No. 15 Ole Miss, No. 18 South Carolina, No. 20 Northwestern, No. 21 Arizona State and No. 23 Arizona.

All teams will play one round per day at Long Cove Club. Each round will be televised by Golf Channel from 1:30-4:30 p.m. CT. Live scoring will be available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
