Graduate student Megan Schofill became the first Auburn winner of the U.S. Women’s Amateur on Sunday, the most prestigious major championship in the amateur ranks.

And after watching their teammate seal one of the program’s ever-biggest accomplishments, the Auburn women’s golf team went to Toomer’s Corner, and rolled the oak trees for the first time since the school announced it was safe to roll the trees planted in 2017.

Both the men’s and women’s golf teams coated the trees in celebratory toilet paper, along with a few Auburn administrators.

The teams filmed videos to congratulate Schofill and attempted to call her, but were not able to reach her as she celebrated her win at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles.

With Schofill’s win, she earns an automatic spot in the U.S. Women’s Open as well as a spot in the 2024 Augusta Women’s Amateur, held at Augusta National Golf Club the week before The Master’s. Schofill has been invited to the Augusta tournament every year from 2020 through 2023.

She also has earned spots in multiple LPGA events as an amateur including the Chevron Championship, AIG Women’s Open and Amundi Evian Championship.

This was Schofill’s third time competing in the U.S. Amateur. Auburn’s previous high-finisher in the tournament was Maria Martinez’s runner-up finish in 2005.

“It’s definitely a dream come true, but I’d be lying if I wouldn’t say I’m still in shock,” Schofill said after the victory. “I feel like it still hasn’t set in yet. Latanna [Stone] played a great match. It was really fun to be able to walk the fairways with her and I felt like we both played really solid golf. I can’t put into words the emotions I’m feeling and it’s just such an honor to be able to say that I won this year.”

The tournament format begins with two rounds of stroke play. The final 64 golfers then play 18-hole match-play rounds to whittle down to a final two, who play a 36-hole championship.

Schofill entered the tournament as the 6th seed, but by the round of 16, she was already the highest seed remaining. She advanced to the championship to face LSU’s Latanna Stone with the finale aired live on Golf Channel Sunday night.

The match swung late in the first 18 holes when Schofill won four of six holes, including three straight, to go three-up in the match.

Schofill’s putting was a key reason why she was able to gain a comfortable lead over Stone, including a 55-foot birdie putt to clinch the second of the three consecutive holes she won.

Schofill’s lead would never get closer than two-up, and she ultimately won the match 4&3 on the 33rd hole.

Schofill made eight birdies in the championship match.

On the 33rd hole after her drive went off into the trees on the right side of the fairway, Schofill was able to get back on the short grass and fired an approach shot to within five feet of the hole, essentially sealing the match.

“Just so excited for Megan,” Auburn women’s golf coach Melissa Luellen said. “She truly played better golf than anyone else in the field this week. She swung the club so beautifully and when she lost a hole she fought right back. I am so honored that I was able to be here this week to witness it.”
