AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn senior Megan Schofill has earned WGCA first team All-American honors, the Women's Golf Coaches Association announced on Friday. The honor marks the 27th All-American nod and the 12th first-team All-American honor given to an Auburn golfer in program history.
"What an absolute honor for Megan to be selected for first team," Auburn head coach Melissa Luellen said after the announcement. "A true list of the vest best in college golf with all bright futures beyond college in the professional ranks. Megan works very hard and is very coachable. She asks questions all the time to learn as much about the game as possible- a winning combination."
The WGCA uses head-to-head competition, comparison with common opponents, scoring average, place finishes in regular season events and tournament wins and strength of schedule as criteria to create their annual All-American teams.
Schofill, who is currently ranked 12th in the country by Golfstat, was named as a Golfweek third team All-American and a WGCA honorable mention at the end of last season. The Auburn senior's first collegiate first team All-American honor will be added to her impressive list of honors this season, which includes a first-team All-SEC honor, an Arnold Palmer Cup team invitation, an Augusta National Women's Amateur invitation and SEC Player of the Week recognition after capturing the Mason Rudolph Championship individual title in October.
The Monticello, Florida native had a memorable season and continues to make her presence felt in the Auburn record books. Schofill broke the program record for most career rounds under par during the season (43) and continues to hold the program's lowest career scoring average (72.14). She also posted a runner-up individual finish at the 2023 SEC Championship and her 205 (-11) at the Illini Women's Invitational at Medinah in the fall tied her for the second all-time lowest 54-hole score in Auburn history and her second round 65 (-7) at the event tied the second lowest 18-hole score in program history.
The Women's Golf Coaches Association, founded in 1983, is a non-profit organization representing women's collegiate golf coaches. The WGCA was formed to encourage the playing of college golf for women in correlation with a general objective of education and in accordance with the highest tradition of intercollegiate competition. Today, the WGCA represents over 700 coaches throughout the U.S. and is dedicated to educating, promoting and recognizing both its members and the student-athletes they represent.
