Auburn to journey throughout the border for Canadian Collegiate Invitational – Auburn Tigers

AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn women’s golf will head north of the border for the inaugural Canadian Collegiate Invitational at Beacon Hall Golf Club in Aurora, Ontario, on Monday and Tuesday.

The tournament will begin with 36 holes on Monday followed by the final 18 on Tuesday. The individual champion will receive an exemption into the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open, while the top five individual finishers will earn exemptions into the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship.

Anna Davis, Balma Dá­valos, Molly Brown Davidson and Charlotte Cantonis will return to the Auburn lineup for the second event of the season, while Anne Fernandez will make her season debut. Freshman Frances Brown will make her Auburn debut as an individual.
