Seminole All-American Westrup To Be Inducted Into WGCA Hall Of Fame. November 12, 2024 By Chuck Walsh TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State Golf
All-American Caroline Westrup, who won five individual championships as a Seminole, will be inducted into the WGCA Players Hall of Fame on December 9, 2024 at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas
as announced by the Women's Golf Coaches Association. She is the first player from Florida State University to be inducted into the WGCA Players Hall of Fame. Westrup earned All-American honors in
each of the four years she played at Florida State. She was a Al-American First-Team selection by the WGCA in 2006 and 2007. Westrup's 73.23 career stoke average was the best in school history at the
time of her graduation; she is currently ranked 10th in school history for the lowest career stroke average. In 37 career events, Westrup won five individual championships and earned 18 top-10
finishes. During her career she scored 42 of her 110 rounds at par or better with 12 rounds carded under 70. Westrup played in three NCAA championship finals and earned a pair of top-12 individual
finishes - tied for 12th in 2007 and tied for 13th in 2006. "To be inducted into the Women's Golf Coaches Association Player Hall of Fame is a huge honor for me," said Westrup. "College was four
amazing years with my coaches and teammates. I share this award with all of them. Florida state has a huge place in my heart and I will always bleed Garnet and Gold." Westrup became the first
four-time All-American and the first four-time All-ACC honoree in program history. She was inducted into the FSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019. Westrup was a standout student as well, earning a
spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District team twice, the WGCA All-American Scholar Team three times and the All-ACC Academic team on four occasions. Westrup is currently the head coach at the
University of Missouri. She began her coaching career at UMG Academy (2018-21) and was an assistant coach at Georgia (2022). Under Westrup's guidance, three Tigers posted a stroke average under 74.00
for the first time in school history during the 2023-24 fall and spring seasons. Westrup began her professional playing career in 2009. She competed on the LPGA, LET and Symetra Tours and won two
professional events - the 2005 Ladies Finnish Masters (while still an amateur) on the LET Tour and the 2015 Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge on the Symetra Tour.

Ting, Woad, And Fullbrook Lead Seminoles At Folds Of Honor Collegiate.
September 9, 2024
By Chuck Walsh
GRAND HAVEN, Mich. - Florida State junior All-American Mirabel Ting shot a 2 under par 70 and is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 6 ranked Seminole Women's Golf Team is in fourth place in the team standings after the first round of the Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club. Ting (tied for third place, 70), All-American Lottie Woad (tied for fifth place, 71) and freshman Sophia Fullbrook (tied for 10th place, 73) are all in the top 10 of the individual standings as the Seminoles play their fall season-opening match for the 2024-25 season.
Ting, Woad, and Fullbrook help make the Seminoles one of only two teams in the 15-team field with three or more players in the top 10 of the individual standings after the first round of play.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Folds of Honor, whose goal it is to provide, through scholarships, to the families of America's fallen or disabled military and first responders. To date, the organization has awarded more than 52,000 scholarships.
Lauren Kim of Texas shot a 5 under par score of 67 and leads the individual race by two strokes over Faith Choi of The Ohio State University. Kim carded a bogey free first round with seven birdies and 11 more holes scored at par. The Longhorns hold a one stroke lead over the Buckeyes and Arizona with the Seminoles just five strokes back with 36 holes remaining to be played.
"There was a lot of good in the first round of the year," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "We have talked to the girls about getting better each day. We have also talked about this event and this golf course and understanding this golf tournament is much bigger than the game of golf."
Ting finished the first round in a tie for third place with Carolina Melgrtati of Arizona as both players carded identical scores of 70. Ting was five under par with birdies on holes one, four, six 12, and 13 to briefly take over the first round lead. She is just three strokes behind the Kim as the individual leader.
"I played decent today," said Ting. "I had a good front nine and made couple of mistakes finishing up. I drove the ball well tee to green and putts manage to drop for me on the front nine. Hopefully it will get better tomorrow for me and for the team."
Ting is a preseason third team All-American by Golfweek and Golf Channel.
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer the world, totaled four birdies and 16 holes played at par or better. She birdied three of her last 13 holes, including the par four, 14th hole to move under par where she stayed for the remainder of the round. Woad finished her final five holes of the day at one under par and begins play in the second round on Tuesday just fur strokes out of the lead.
Woad is a consensus preseason First-Team Al-American and the top candidate for the ANNIKA Award entering the 2024-25 fall and spring seasons. She has earned 11 career top five finishes and is looking to win her fourth career collegiate individual championship.
Ting and Woad are just two of the seven golfers in the 75-golfer field who carded blow par scores in the first round of the tournament.
Fullbrook, who is playing in her first career collegiate event, is in a tie for 10th place with a 1 over par score of 73. She played her best golf on her front nine and made the turn at 1 under par. Fullbrook carded the first birdie of her career on the third hole of the first round. She was at even par through her first 17 holes of the round.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. - With three golfers in the top four of the individual standings, the Florida State Women's Golf Team is in first place in the team standings of the Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club heading into Wednesday's final round of play. Junior All-American Mirabel Ting and freshman Sophia Fullbrook are tied for second in the individual standings, with All-American Lottie Woad close behind in fourth place. The sensational Seminole trio is a combined 5 strokes under par through the first 36 holes of the championship.
Florida State owns the team lead entering the final round with a two-round total of 9 over par 585. The Seminoles lead Arizona by one stroke, Ohio State by two strokes, Texas by six strokes, and Baylor by seven strokes. Carolina Melgrati of Arizona is the individual leader with a 5 under par score of 139.
"The message at dinner tonight is going to be 'keep doing what you are doing'," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "The more we can play this golf course, the better we can get. Today was a message of that. I think we just keep doing that."
Fullbrook led the Seminoles in the second round with a 3 under par score of 69 and has a 36-hole total of 142. Ting carded a 2 under par 70 in the second round and also has a 36-hole total of 142. Woad finished with an even par 72 and has a 36-hole total of 143. Fullbrook and Ting are just three strokes behind Melgrati while Woad is in a familiar position in the top five and just four strokes out of the individual lead.
Fullbrook was the star of the day for the Seminoles as she totaled a 69 with a nearly clean scorecard. She totaled one eagle (the first of her collegiate career), two bridies and 17 holes scored at par or better. Her eagle came on hole No. 14. Her only blemish (a bogey) came on hole No. 4 (the Seminoles started on hole No. 10) which she quickly neutralized with her second birdie of the day just two holes later. Fullbrook finished her round with four consecutive holes scored at par.
Fullbrook's score of 69 was tied with Melgrati for the lowest hole score of the round. Fullbrook's score of 69 is one of the four scores in the 60s during the first two round of the championship.
Ting finished with a second round score of 72 and is tied with Fullbrook for second place with scores of 142.
Ting also enjoyed a nearly perfect scorecard with one birdie, 17 holes scored a par or better, and just one bogey. She earned scores of par on her first 11 holes, and her final five holes of the round.
Woad, the No. 1 ranked women's amateur player in the world, finished the day with an even par score of 72. She totaled three birdies and was never above par at any time during the round. Woad has earned par or better scores in seven of her last nine collegiate rounds dating to the NCAA Las Vegas Regional championship in May of 2024.
"We're all really close, so it's fun when we are away and practicing together," said Woad. "We just have to keep doing what we are doing; we don't really try to change anything."
Bond, who is the winningest women's golf coach in school history, will look to lead the Seminoles into the winner's circle for the 21st time as Florida State's head coach. The Seminoles most recent team championship came at the IJGA Collegiate Invitational in February of 2024.
"This
is the first tournament of the year and there is a lot going on,' said Bond. "If they will play with a lot of confidence, it's a nice little shootout. We'll see what happens."

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. - Florida State's Mirabel Ting birdied five of her last six holes and won the individual championship of the Third Annual Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club. Ting's third career win help Florida State to a second place finish in the team standings as Ting (first), junior Lottie Woad (tied for third), and freshman Sophia Fullbrook (tied for sixth) all earned top 10 individual finishes in the power-placed first event of the fall season for the No. 6 ranked Seminoles.
Arizona, with two players in the top six, and four in the top 21 of the individual standings, won the team championship with a three stroke victory over Florida State. The Seminoles finished nine strokes ahead of third placed finishing Ohio State. Ting, who carded a 68 in the final round, defeated Arizona's Carolina Melgrati by two strokes to win her third carer championship. Megan Streicher finished in a tie for third with Florida State's Woad as the par finished with 3 under par scores of 213.
"This was a really good week of golf for our team," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "It's a good first week because it was the first tournament of the fall, and we didn't have a lot of practice time. There are a lot of positives to come from this event as well as weaknesses that need attention."
Ting got hot at the right time as she carded six birdies on her final 10 holes to win her third career collegiate championship. She was one over par on her first eight holes and six under par on her final 10 holes to overtake Melgrati who led the tournament over the course of the first 36 holes. The junior was even par at the turn, and five under par on her back nine with five birdies and four holes scores at par to take over the lead and win the championship. She finished in first place by two strokes with a 6 under par total of 210 for the 54 hole event.
"I was in shock, actually," said Ting about her string of five consecutive bridies. "I wasn't really sure what was happening. I asked coach Ryan (Heisey) to walk with me on the par three hole No. 12. We have this joke that when I see Ryan, our assistant coach, I'll make birdies. He followed me the entire last seven holes and they just kept coming. Thanks to coach Ryan."
The victory was Ting's third as a collegiate player, and second as a Seminole. She won the spring 2023 Moon Invitational as a freshman at Augusta University and the spring 2024 as a sophomore at Florida State.
"I'm very proud of Mirabel," said Bond. "Especially for the way she gave us a chance at the end. Lottie played great golf as did Sophia in her first career tournament."
Woad carded a 2 under par score of 70 to finish with a 3 under par score of 213. She finished in a tie for third place in the individual standings.
Woad carded four birdies and finished the championship at 1 under par over her last six holes. She was 2 strokes under par with three birdies over her final 14 holes of the final round. She totaled 11 birdies in fishing under par for the 11th consecutive event as a Seminole. She has finished each of her events under par since finishing at 8 strokes under par in the 2023 fall season opening ANNIKA Intercollegiate.
Woad has now earned three consecutive top three finishes (third at the 2024 Las Vegas Regional Championship, second at the NCAA Championship Finals, and now tied for third at the Folds of Honor. Woad has finished the top three of in 11 of her 20 career events as a Seminoles.
Freshman Sophia Fullbrook finished in a tie for sixth place in her collegiate debut for the Seminoles. She carded scores of 73-69-75 for a 2 over par total of 217. Fullbrook totaled a 69 in the second round - the second-lowest single round score of the tournament by a Seminole.

NORMAN, Okla. - Florida State's Mirabel Ting won her second consecutive individual championship, and the Seminole women's golf team finished in third place in the team standings as the rain-shortened Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Club came to a close. Ting carded a career-low tying score of 67 in the final round and defeated Auburn's Anna Davis by one stroke. Florida State played the second-best team round of the day and earned its second consecutive top-three team finish in its first two events of the fall season.
Ting won the individual championship at the Folds of Honor Collegiate last week and became just the third golfer in school history to earn individual championships in consecutive starts in school history with her win in the Schooner. Most recently Morgane Metraux won the individual championships of the Florida State Match Up (Feb. 12, 2017) and the Dickson Intercollegiate (Feb. 28, 2017) during the 2016-17 competition season. Nadia Ste-Marie was the first player in school history to win consecutive individual championships as she earned medalist honors at the Lady Seminole Invitational (Sept. 25, 1988) and the Beacon Woods Invitational (Oct. 16, 1988) in back to back outings during the 1988-89 season.
All-American and ANNIKA Award nominee Lottie Woad carded a school-record tying 65 and finished in a tie for second place in the individual standings.
"With the weather disruption in the second round on Sunday, the girls really did a great job of keeping their intensity up today," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "They came out with the same intensity as yesterday and were really ready to play today. We got a couple of good rounds from our freshman. We continue to get better each day."
Florida State played the second-best team round of the final round in carding a 10 under par score of 270. Only Kansas State, at 269, played one stroke better than the Seminoles just one day after the second round of the championship was canceled because of heavy rain.
Ting carded a career-low tying 3 under par 67 in the final round. She moved into first place midway through the second round and defeated Anna Davis of Auburn by one stroke. Ting finished the 36-hole tournament with a score of 134.
"I feel like I played well today and under these conditions; I would take this golf game any day," said Ting. "Winning back to back titles makes me feel happy. It also makes me believe I can do things better than I expected myself too. The girls played really well today, and I'm excited to see what it will take us in the next two events and following into the spring."
Woad played the second-best round of the day of the 90 golfers in the field as she carded a 5 under par score of 65. It marked the third time in her career (and the second time in the Schooner Fall Classic) than she has carded a score of 65. Woad carded a 65 in the first round of the Schooner Fall Classic in the fall of 2022 and averages 67.88 strokes in eight career rounds during three appearances in the Schooner.
Woad finished just one stroke behind Ting as Florida State finished with two players in the top-two of the individual standings.
Freshman Christina Surcey helped the Seminoles earn their second consecutive top-3 team finish as she carded a career-low 2 under par 68 in the second round. She finished in a tie for 55th place in the individual standings. Her score of 68 in the second round allowed her to move up 29 spaces in the standings after carding a 78 in Saturday's first round of play.

Woad Leads No. 9 Seminoles At Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
October 21, 2024
By Chuck Walsh
NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. - Junior All-American Lottie Woad is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 9 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in a tie for fourth place in the team standings after the first two rounds of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Woad has three holes left to play to complete her second round. Her even par second round score has put her in contention to win her fourth collegiate individual championship.
South Carolina moved up two spots in the team standings in the second round and currently holds the lead in the six-team competition. The Gamecocks (first), Oregon (second), Arkansas (third), Florida State (tied for fourth), Oklahoma State (tied for fourth) and Wake Forest (sixth) will play for the top four spots in the team standings after Tuesday's final round of stroke play to advance to match on Wednesday. The team champion in the event will be decided after two rounds of match play on the final day of competition. The individual champion will be crowned after 54 holes of stroke play on Tuesday.
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur player in the world, will finish the final three holes of her second round, then play her third round to complete 54 holes of stroke play. She is eight strokes behind the overall leader, Carolina Chacarra of Wake Forest, and four strokes behind Kiara Romer of Oregon in the race for the individual championship. Woad played even par golf in the second round to move up the leaderboard by eight spots and put herself in contention for her first individual championship of the 2024 fall season.
"The golf course put up a good test today with the windy conditions," said Bond. "We have some work to do tomorrow to finish in the top four, but our girls are playing with a lot of confidence. They hung in there all day under the tough conditions. We are looking to getting back out here early tomorrow and showing what we learned from playing in the tough conditions today."
Woad is even par after 15 holes of the second round with one birdie, 13 holes scored at par, and one bogey. She concluded her day with nine consecutive holes of par golf. Through her first 33 holes, Woad has carded three birdies and 22 holes scored at par in her first two rounds.
Woad has been the No. 1 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings for each of the last 12 weeks and for 17 weeks since ascending to the top spot in the world for the first time on June 12, 2024.
Senior Kaylah Williams is enjoying one of her finest days as a Seminole and has finished her second round play in 10th place in the individual standings. She has carded scores of 72 and 76 for a 36-hole total of 148. Williams has carded four birdies, including three in the second round. She was in a tie for sixth place in the individual standings with a first round score of 72 - her best of the fall season.
Florida State is playing with three freshmen (Sophia Fullbrook, Alexandra Gazzoli, and Christina Surcey) in its lineup for
the first time this season. The trio combined for three birdies in the first and second rounds. With a first round score of 73, Fullbrook was in tie for seventh place in the individual standings.

NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. - Junior All-American Lottie Woad carded a final round 70 and finished in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 9 ranked Florida State Women's Golf team finish in a tie for fourth place in the team standings in the final standings of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Despite finishing in a tie for fourth in the team standings, the Seminoles fell short of playing on the final day of match play as South Carolina was awarded the fourth and final team position on individual scores.
South Carolina won the tiebreaker based on the total/cumulative scores of the fifth (non-counting) players' scores through the three rounds.
Oregon won the team championship and advanced to the final day of match play in the tournament along with Arkansas, Wake Forest, and South Carolina. Carolina Chacarra of Wake Forest won the individual championship with a four-stroke victory over Oregon's Kiara Romero with Woad placing third.
Woad has now finished in the top three in five consecutive tournaments including the 2024 NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship (third), the 2024 NCAA Championship Finals (second), the 2024 Folds of Honor Collegiate (tied for third), the 2024 Schooner Fall Classic (tied for second), and the Jackson T. Stephens Cup (third).
Woad (third place) and senior Kaylah Williams (tied for eighth place) allowed Florida State to rank as one of three teams in the event (also Oregon and Arkansas) to finish the prestigious championship with multiple players in the top eight of the individual standings.
"We played our best round of the tournament today which we are happy about," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "We are disappointed about playing well and not qualifying for match play but there are lessons to be learned from every round. Ultimately, it comes down to one shot in each tournament; I stress each day the value of every shot. Unfortunately one shot cost us an opportunity to advance to match play.
"We got better today, and we will be better in the long run because of this disappointment."
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur player in the world, was her consistent self as she finished with an even par 70 - a round that included 17 holes scored at par or better with 16 scored a par. Woad finished the event as she carded pars on 41 of her 54 holes played (.759 percent) including scores of par or better on 33 of her final 36 holes.
Woad has now earned 14 career top five individual finishes and 19 career top-10 individual finishes in 22 career events as a Seminole. She has finished outside of the top 10 only once in her last 13 tournaments dating to the start of the fall 2023 season.

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Junior All-American Lottie Woad shot a school-record tying 65 and is in first place in the individual standings, and the No. 11 Florida State Women's Golf Team is in a tie for first place in the team standings after the first round of the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall. Woad's 7-under par score of 65 included eight birdies, nine holes scored at par and just one bogey.
Woad leads the individual standings by two strokes over Duke's Katie Li and North Carolina's Helen Yeung who both carded scores of 67. Florida State and Duke are tied for the team lead as both squads carded team scores of 11 under par 279. The Seminoles (Woad, first, and Christina Surcey, tied for ninth) and Duke (Katie Li, tied for second, and Andie Smith, tied for sixth) both have multiple players in the top 10 of the individual standings.
Woad's stellar round of 65 - which began with a birdie and included birdies on four of her first six holes - marked the fourth time during her Florida State career that she has tied the Florida State school record for a single round score. Seminole All-American Matilda Castren (2014-17) is the only other Seminole who has carded multiple scores of 65 with two.
"We made a lot of birdies today and that was the key to our round," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "We talked a lot last night about playing for the second time in a week which is really hard to do. But their energy was way up and their enthusiasm was evident throughout the round. They were excited and did what they had to do to put the ball in the cup.
"I'm proud of each of the girls because they battled all day long and put us in a good position for the weekend."
With a birdie on her first hole, Woad was on fire from the start of the round. She totaled four birdies on her first six holes and was three strokes under par at the turn. Woad then birdied four of her first six holes on her second nine and finished par-par-par to close out her 7-under par score for the day. It marked the second time this fall that she carded a 65; she totaled a 65 in the second round of the Schooner Fall Classic on September 23, 2024.
Woad, who is currently ranked as the No. 1 player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings for the 13th consecutive week, lowered her career stroke average to 70.50 with her score of 65 in Friday's first round - the lowest career stroke average in school history.
"I played solid golf today and gave myself a lot of birdie chances," said Woad. "I limited my mistakes."
Freshman Christina Surcey is in a tie for ninth place in the individual standings as she carded a 2 under par score of 72. Her score included her first career collegiate eagle on hole No. 14 - a score which set her on quite a run over her next 13 holes. Beginning with her eagle on 14, Surcey was three strokes under par over her final 13 holes to finish under par in a given round for the second time in her first nine rounds as a Seminole.
Florida State counted scores of even par 72 by both Sophia Fullbrook and Kaylah Williams in the first round.
Fullbrook totaled three birdies with 15 holes scored at par or better in finishing as a counting, even par score of 72. She birdied two of her final eight holes of the round and is in a tie for 22nd place in the individual standings. Fullbrook was never more than one stroke over par during her first 18 holes of the tournament.
Williams played her best golf to close the round as she birdied two of her last four holes to finish at even par 72. She scored par or better on her final eight holes and has now carded four scores of 72 in four of her last six rounds during three events.
Freshman Alexandra Gazzoli finished with a score of 75 - her best score in four rounds as a Seminole. She totaled four birdies including birdies on her final two holes to finish her best career collegiate round with a flourish.
With four counting scores at 72 or better, and all five scores at 75 or better, the Seminoles
played their best team round of the fall with an 11 under par scores of 279.

"We knew today was going to be a challenge and we talked about being patient after our round yesterday. We gained some experience playing in the wind last week at the Jackson T. Stephens Cup and we show we learned from that experience. I'm very, very proud of all five girls."

The Seminoles are the top ACC team in the event after the first day - four strokes ahead of Virginia and 15 strokes ahead of NC State.
"The girls handled their play really well in their first round of the season," said head coach Amy Bond. "They settled in and played some really sharp golf for 27 holes, which is a long day of golf. The conditions were pretty good and the course is in great condition. The hole locations got tougher in the second round, but each of the girls played really good golf."
Woad carded a 4 under par score of 68 in the first round and is even par through the first nine holes of the second round. She has carded 10 birdies on her first 27 holes. Woad was never above par during her first round of play as she birdied her first two holes and finished her back nine at 2 strokes under par.
Woad is tied for the individual lead with two Virginia players -- Amanda Sambach and Rebecca Skoler. Woad's 4 under par score of 68 was tied for the low score of the day with Houston's Moa Svedenskiold.
Florida State's Mirabel Ting, the World's No. 4 ranked amateur player, is in a tie for fourth place in the individual standings with a 3 under par total through 27 holes.

Freshman Sophia Fullbrook is in a group of six who are tied for 10th place in the individual standings heading into the final day of play. She carded an even par score of 72 in the first round with two birdies and 16 holes played at par or better.

Florida State won the championship with a 10 under par team score of 854. The Seminoles defeated TCU by six strokes and Virginia by 13 strokes in the final standings.
"Playing 27 holes in a day is tough," said head coach Amy Bond. "We finished the second round well but did not do a great job at the start of the third round. To each girls' absolute credit, they found a way to dig deep and finished the back nine in the third round and six under par with only one bogey."
Ting was masterful on Saturday as she earned her fifth career individual championship and fourth as a Seminole. She won her third championship of the year after finishing as the individual champion at the Folds of Honor Collegiate and the Schooner Fall Classic during the fall of 2024.
Ting won the individual championship of the Collegiate Invitational with a 12 under par score of 204. She finished each of the three rounds with under par scores of 69 (-3), 69 (-3) and with a career-low score of 66 (-6) in the third and final round on Saturday.
Ting was at her best during the final day of the two-day event. She finished her second round with three birdies on her final nine holes to finish with a second consecutive score of 69 in the second round. She then went on a tear in the final round with her career-best score of 66 which included five birdies and the third eagle of her collegiate career on the par five ninth hole. Ting finished in style with two birdies over last nine holes to come within one stroke of trying the school record of 65.
Ting is the No. 4 ranked golfer in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
"Mirabel got it rolling today," said Bond. "She finished nine under for the day as she made a lot of putts and hit a high number of quality golf shots."
Woad was spectacular in earning her the second place finish in the individual standings. She carded scores of 69 (-3), 72 (E), and 70 (-2) to finish under par for the 17th time in 25 events as a Seminole. She has now earned 21 top 10 finishes in her 25 events including 10 top two individual finishes.

"This is a great start to 2025 and a great way to start our spring season," said Bond. "There are a lot of positives to come out of this week. We are going to enjoy this win because in golf you don't win as often as you'd like. There are things we have to work on as a team, but this group has illustrated that they are capable of some pretty special things this spring."

By Chuck Walsh
MELBOURNE, Fla. - Junior All-American Lottie Woad and freshman Layla Pedrique carded scores of 71 and are tied for third in the individual standings, and the No. 7 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in first place in the team standings after the first round of the Moon Invitational on the Classic Course at the Suntree Country Club. The Seminoles scored seven birdies on their final three holes of the day to move into first place and finish the round as the only team with an under par score.
Playing with three freshmen in its lineup, Florida State takes a five-stroke lead into the second round of the event as it looks to claim its third consecutive tournament championship for the first time in school history. The Seminoles won the team championships at the fall season ending Landfall Tradition and won the title in the spring season opening Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club. The Seminoles have won consecutive events six times in program history.
"The girls played a really good round of golf today," said head coach Amy Bond. "They stayed patient early because the wind was really kicking up on the front nine and is the tougher side. I'd say the wind blew 20-25 mph with gusts up to 40. Each of them took advantage on the back nine and the favorable wind conditions and didn't make any mistakes. I'm really proud of this group for how well they played today."
Florida State has a five-stroke lead over UCF and a seven-stroke lead over Ole Miss and Texas A&M. The Seminoles are the highest placing ACC team - Virginia is in fifth place, Louisville is in seventh place, Wake Forest is in 11th place, North Carolina is in 14th place, and Clemson is in 15th place in the team standings.
Woad, the no. 1 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, carded a 71 in the first round and is in a tie for third place with eight players, including Seminole teammate Pedrique. That group is one stroke behind co-leaders and teammates Nicole Gal and Caitlyn Macnab of Ole Miss. The Rebel teammates carded scores of 2 under par 70 and have led their team into a tie for third place in the team standings.
Woad birdied two of her final three and three of her final seven holes to move to within one stroke of the individual lead. The All-American carded par or better scores on 16 of her 18 holes with three birdies.
"Lottie did a great job as she stayed patient then took advantage of her opportunities to make birdies coming in," said Bond. "Patience was certainly the key for her today."
Pedrique, a freshman playing in her first career event as a Seminole, also carded a 1 under par 71 in her first collegiate round. She was under par on her front nine with two birdies and finished her round at 1 stroke under par on her final seven holes of the round. Pedrique birdied hole No. 17 to move under par and finished below par in the first round of her career.
"The nerves were pretty high for Layla in her first round," said Bond. "Associate head coach Matt Whall walked with her the entire day to give her positive reinforcement throughout the round," said Bond. "She played a great round of golf considering the field and the number of great players on the course. She controlled what she could control - her golf ball - and did a really good job of making birdies when she had her opportunities."
Junior Mirabel Ting, the No. 3 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, carded an even par 72. She totaled one birdie on the front nine and three on the back including birdies on her final two holes to pull even for the day. Ting is in a tie for 11th place and just four strokes out of the individual lead.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - The No. 7 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in first place, and Junior All-American Lottie Woad is in first place in the individual standings following the second of two rounds at the Moon Invitational on the Classic Course at the Suntree Country Club. The Seminoles have built a seven-stroke lead over Texas A&M and a nine-stroke lead over South Carolina as they play to win their program record third consecutive tournament championship. Woad has a one-stroke lead over Anne-Sterre Den Dunnen of Wake Forest as the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world plays to win her fifth collegiate championship and second this year.
Florida State now owns a seven-stroke lead over second-place Texas A&M following the second round of play. The Seminoles led UCF by five strokes after the first round.
Woad led the Seminoles with a 3 under par score of 69 during the second round. A pair of freshmen - Alexandra Gazzoli and Layla Pedrique - carded scores of 69 and 73, respectively, to lead the Seminoles to a 1 under par team total for the second round. The Seminoles are the only team in the field of 17 to finish with under par scores in both of the first two rounds of the tournament.
Only three teams have recorded below par team rounds during the first two rounds - the Seminoles, with two, and South Carolina and Wake Forest with one each. Florida State has a 3 under par team total of 573 and are the only team with a below par team score heading into play in Wednesday's second round.
"It was another windy day, but the wind came from an entirely different direction that it did in the first two days," said head coach Amy Bond. "The great thing about today was that all five girls made the adjustment and played really well. They all played solid golf, made pars, and were comfortable during their play. I'm happy with another good round of golf."
Woad, a four-time All-American and the No. 1 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, carded a splendid score of 69 to move into first place in the individual standings. She carded a team-high five birdies, including all five on her final 13 holes of the afternoon.

Woad is now 10 strokes under par in two events this spring and has a cumulative total of 18 strokes under par for her seven-match junior season.
"Lottie did her thing today and played well under tough conditions," said Bond. "With the wind on this course, it's tough to hit it close, so you have to be good on 10- and 20-foot shots on the green. After making birdies on eight and nine, she played a really solid back nine to finish under par."
Gazzoli, a freshman who is playing in just her fourth career match, sparkled throughout the round as she carded her career-best score of 70. Her score of 70 was one stroke better than her previous low score of 71 during the Landfall Tradition in the fall of 2024. Gazzoli carded four birdies, including two on her final five holes of the day. She was even par on her front nine and two under par on her back nine to finish under par for the second time in eight collegiate rounds.
"Alex played really good golf today," said Bond. "She was super solid throughout the round. It's nice to see freshman go under par and play good golf."
Gazzoli is now in a tie for 15th place in the individual standings - an improvement of 32 positions in the individual standings from her play in the first round.
Pedrique carded a 2 over par score of 73 and is in a tie for eighth place in the individual standings with an even par total of 144. She played a clean scorecard on her back nine with one birdie and eight holes scores at par.

"This was a really good week of golf for our team," said Bond. "We learned a lot as a team, and each of the girls learned a lot as individuals.

Our ability to adapt is a great learning experience that we can utilize for the remainder of the season."

Junior All-American Mirabel Ting, the No. 3 ranked amateur player in the world, finished in a tie for sixth place in the individual standings with a three-round total of 1 under par 215.
