FSU sports information:
Florida State junior Charlotte Heath and freshman Lottie Woad, who led the Seminoles to a fifth place finish at the 2023 NCAA Division I Championship Finals, have earned All-American First-Team honors as announced by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association. The selections to the First Team marks the third consecutive season the Seminoles have had at least one player earn All-American First-Team honors. Three-time Beatrice Wallin earned the honor in both 2021 and 2022.
It also marked the second consecutive season Heath has been named to the All-American team by the WGCA. She earned All-American Honorable Mention honors 2022. Woad is the third freshman in school history to earn All-American First-team honors.
Florida State and Wake Forest were the only two teams in the nation to have two golfers earn All-American First-Team honors this season.
Florida State has had at least one golfer earn All-American honors each season since 2016 with five first-team All-Americans during that span.
“We are all very excited for Charlotte and Lottie to be recognized as two of the nation’s top players by the WGCA,” FSU coach Amy Bond said. “Both players played very well throughout the season. The consistency both players exhibited during the year was fun to watch. Amazingly, both Charlotte and Lottie finished under par for the entire season, and that’s hard to do. They are to be congratulated for being named All-Americans in a year when there were so many deserving players from around the country.”
In addition to playing well for the Seminoles, Heath (25th) and Woad (13th) finished in the top 25 in the individual standings in the third annual Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship in April.
Heath, who finished in eighth place in the individual standings at the 2023 NCAA Championship Finals at Grayhawk Golf Club, finished the 2023 season with a single-season program record 70.56 stroke average. She earned her first career individual championship at the Landfall Tradition in the fall of 2022, and a career-best eight top-10 finishes. Heath led the Seminoles in stroke average, rounds scored at par or better (24 of 32), and rounds scored of 75 or better (31 of 32). Heath was a combined total of 30 strokes under par as a junior.
“I’m really proud to have earned all American First-Team honors this year, said Heath. “I’ve been fortunate to earn honorable mention honors previously, so it was definitely a goal of mine to be on the first team this year. I’m looking forward to coming back in the fall for my last year, and continuing the hard work with my coaches.”
Woad is the third freshman in school history to earn All-American First-Team honors joining Caroline Westrup in 2006 and Frida Kinhult in 2019.
Woad finished her first season as a Seminole with a 71.06 stroke average – the fourth lowest single-season scoring average in school history. She led the Seminoles with two individual titles – at the Ivy Intercollegiate and the Florida State Match Up – and tied the school record score for a single round with a 65 in the second round of the Schooner Fall Classic. Woad led the Seminoles on the scoreboard seven times in 11 matches including at the NCAA Raleigh Regional Championship.
“I am very excited for this honor in my first season at Florida State,” said Woad. “Because of our success as a team, this honor is very much a team award and each player on our team needs to share in this recognition. Many thanks to our coaches – Coach Bond, Coach Duck and Coach Heisey – because they are a driving force behind us as players.”
Heath and Woad will play in the Arnold Palmer Cup beginning June 8 at the Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier, Pa.
Florida State opens its fall 2023 season at the Annika Intercollegiate presented by 3M at the Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo, Minnesota (Sept. 10-13).
