In one of the more dominating performances of the season at the 2024 Mossy Oak Collegiate Championship at Mossy Oak Golf Course in West Point, Miss., Auburn won for the seventh time this season, the fourth time in a row, by 34 shots over the field. 

The Tigers shot 46-under with rounds of 271-270-277 to secure the wire-to-wire win. Auburn shot the three lowest rounds of any team and was the only team to break 280 in any rounds. 

This is the fourth win in a row for the Tigers and a program-record seventh win this season. The Tigers recently took back the top spot in the Bushnell/Golfweek D1 Coaches Poll this week.
