⛳️ Anna Davis captures second individual tournament win at Illini Women’s Invitational!
🧡 Hall of Famer and Auburn icon Leah Rawls Atkins passes away
🐅 And much, much more!

🔼 It’d Be Hard to Find Greener Pastures. Auburn sophomore Anna Davis captured the second individual tournament win of her career on Tuesday at the Illini Women’s Invitational at the historic Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. Davis shot 13-under (203) over three rounds to take the tournament title by three shots over Morgan Smith of Georgia.

The performance breaks the Auburn program record for lowest 54-hole score, which was previously held by Sophia Schubert with a 204 at the Alamo Invitational in 2014. The program record for an 18-hole team score also fell on Tuesday, as the Tigers carded the lowest round in school history with a 270 (-18) in the tournament’s final round.

🔼 An “Improbable Journey. Whether she was winning waterskiing competitions, earning Auburn University degrees, or being inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Dr. Leah Rawls Atkins was accustomed to being first.

The first woman Alabama Sports Hall of Fame inductee and the first person to earn a doctorate in history from Auburn, Atkins passed away Friday, Oct. 4, at the age of 89.

"I traveled far on my improbable journey," Atkins told graduates at Auburn’s spring commencement in 2017. "To complete it, I had to work harder, use my time more efficiently, push myself constantly, learn to function with less sleep, go over notes and materials many times.”

The Leah Rawls Atkins Award, presented annually for excellence in academics and athletics to a student-athlete who models leadership, integrity and courage, is the highest honor an Auburn female student-athlete can receive.
