Borovilos wins by four, but Auburn flips the team race late to claim the title
Vanessa Borovilos controlled the week — even if Texas A&M didn’t.
The Texas A&M sophomore from Canada fired rounds of 70-68-71 to win the Moon Golf Invitational at Suntree Country Club by four shots, finishing at 7-under 209. It was her second career collegiate win and first of the season, and the performance earned her SEC Golfer of the Week honours for the second time in two years.
Borovilos’s win also fits the season she put together last year. In 2025, she played 18 ranked events, won the Chevron Collegiate in February, and added three runner-up finishes at the Clover Cup in March, The “Mo” Morial in April, and The Carmel Cup in August, along with five more top-10 results.
Borovilos, now ranked No. 10 individually, gave the Aggies a lift, but they couldn’t quite close the team race.
That belonged to No. 8 Auburn.
The Tigers posted 7-under 857 (292-283-282) to win by three shots over No. 6 Texas A&M (285-287-288). Auburn entered the final round trailing by three, flipped the lead midway through Tuesday’s play, and never handed it back. The victory was Auburn’s fourth of the season — its most since 2008-09 — adding to titles at the Canadian Invitational Collegiate, Tar Heel Invitational and PDI Intercollegiate.
Only two teams - Auburn and Texas A&M managed to post under-par total scores out of 17 teams in the field.
Auburn’s depth made the difference.
Sophomore Molly Brown Davidson finished solo second at 3-under 213 (70-74-69). Freshman Charlotte Cantonis surged to T-8 at even-par (79-65-72) — a 14-shot turnaround from her opening round to her second. Junior Anna Davis and redshirt senior Corys Worby both finished T-13 at 2-over 218 (Davis: 73-75-70; Worby: 75-72-71).

Last year’s champion Eila Galitsky, who beat Lottie Woad in a playoff, wasn’t in the mix this time, finishing T-33 at 5-over as a South Carolina sophomore. And scoring was scarce: only two teams in the 17-team field, Auburn and Texas A&M, finished under par. Defending champion Florida State ended up 12th at 25-over.
The Tigers placed four inside the top 15 and defeated 11 top-25 teams, including four inside the top 10.
