No. 10 Florida State placed second in the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club. Top individual finishes included Charlotte Heath (T4) and Lottie Woad (T4). This is Heath’s fourth top 10 finish of the 2022-23 season and Woad’s fifth as a freshman newcomer.
Junior Charlotte Heath gained another top-10 finish in her 23rd tournament start as a Seminole at the Collegiate Invitational. It is the 12th top-10 finish of her collegiate career. Heath shot even-par in the final round and totaled an even-par 216 for the tournament.
With the resume of round two, Heath found herself off to a great start at 1-under through five holes on the back-nine. She struggled in the closing of the round, shooting 3-over in her last four holes. A 2-over 38, her highest scoring nine of the tournament, pushed her back to a tie for third place.
Although the final round was just moments later, Heath flipped her game around and shot 1-under on the front-nine after birdying her opening hole. She shot 1-over on her final nine to secure another impressive round at even-par.
Heath led the Seminoles in par 5 scoring, averaging a 4.83 (-2), and in birdies, totaling eight for the three rounds.

Round three for Woad was off to a shaky start after posting a 3-over par front-nine. She quickly recovered with a birdie at the turn to the back-nine to get back to 1-over for the tournament. Woad continued her consistent play with seven straight pars and a birdie on her final hole to shoot a 1-over par 73 in the final round.
Woad led the entire 60-player field in pars, totaling 41 for three rounds.
Senior Amelia Williamson saw an immense improvement on the back-nine in round three, which was deemed to be the setback to her otherwise phenomenal play in the last two rounds, and shot a 1-over par 37.
Williamson combined her best two nines of the tournament to shoot her lowest score of the Collegiate Invitational with a 2-over par 74 to finish T23 at 10-over par.
