Junior Charlotte Heath finished in a tie for fifth place in the individual standings, and the Seminole Women’s Golf Team finished in fifth place in the team standings as stroke play at the 34th Annual ACC Women’s Golf Championships at the Sedgefield Country Club came to a close. Heath earned the best ACC Championships finish of her career as she carded a 2 under par score of 70 in the third and final round to finish with a 5 under par tournament score of 211. Seminole senior Amelia Williamson finished in a tie for 15th place in the individual standings, as Florida State finished as one of five teams with multiple players who finished in the top 15 of the individual standings.

Wake Forest (first place), Duke (second), Clemson (third) and Virginia (fourth) finished as the top four teams in stroke play, and begin the match play portion of the championship Saturday. Wake Forest faces Virginia and Duke faces Clemson in the semifinals with the two winning teams meeting for the championship on Sunday.

Virginia’s Amanda Sambach defeated Duke’s Phoebe Brinker by two strokes to capture the individual championship and her first ACC Championship of her career. Sambach carded scores of 68-66-68 for a three-round total of 202. She was the only player in the field of 65 golfers who carded each of her score in the 60’s during the stroke play portion of the tournament.

Florida State’s Heath finished the tournament with scores of 70-71-70 for a three-round total of 5 under par 211. It’s the second time she has finished at even par or better in three ACC Championship appearances, and the first time she has finished with three blow par scores in the same ACC Championship. Heath has now carded five sub-par rounds in nine career AC Championship rounds.

Heath finished her third ACC Championship with five birdies in the third round. She had totaled five birdies in the first two rounds of the event and closed the tournament with 10 total birdies. Heath played especially well on her back nine Friday with three birdies on holes No. 10, 12 and 17 to finish with her score of 70. She was three under par over the course of her final 14 holes of the afternoon.

Heath enters the NCAA Regional Championships (May 8-10) having finished in the top five of each of her last three events – second at the Valspar Augusta Invitational, tied for third at the Florida State Match Up and tied for fifth at the ACC Championships. She is a total of 13 strokes under par in her last three events and 17 strokes under par in five events this spring.

Williamson, who was playing in her school-record tying fourth ACC Championship, finished the tournament with a 1 under par score of 71 in the final round and a 3 over par total of 219. Her tournament score marked the second consecutive season she has scored a three-round score of 219 or better after finishing with a 217 tournament score during the 2022 ACC Championship.

Williamson finished in a tie for 15th place with scores of 74-74-71. Her play on Friday included a personal tournament-high four birdies, after she carded a total of three birdies in the first two rounds of the event. Williamson played her first 13 holes of the final round at 3 under par with three birdies and 10 more holes scored at par.

Freshman Lottie Woad finished the tournament with a 2 over par score of 74 in the final round. She closed her first ACC Championship at 2 over par in the final two rounds with scores of 72-74. She finished in a tie for 34th place in the individual standings.

Florida State, which has won two consecutive NCAA Regional championships (at Louisville in 2021 and in Tallahassee in 2022) will make its school-record 17th consecutive regional appearance when the NCAA Championships are announced on April 26. The six regional championship sites include Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. (PGA National Resort), Athens, Ga. (University of Georgia Golf Course), Westfield, Ind. (the Club at Chatham Hills), Pullman, Wash. (Palouse Ridge Golf Club), Raleigh, N.C. (Lonnie Poole Golf Course), and San Antonio, Tex. (TPA San Antonio).
