No. 7 Florida State won the team championship, and junior All-American Lottie Woad finished tied for the individual championship as the Moon Invitational on the Classic Course at the Suntree Country Club concluded. The Seminoles defeated Wake Forest by three strokes to win their program record third consecutive team title. Woad finished tied for the individual lead after 54 holes of play with Eila Galitsky of South Carolina.
Florida State led the event wire-to-wire as it moved into the lead early in the first round and finished well on all three days to claim the 22nd tournament championship under head coach Amy Bond.
The team title marked the first time the Seminoles have won three consecutive team championships – the Landfall Tradition (fall of 2024), the Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club (spring of 2025) and now the Moon Invitational (spring of 2025). Florida State is only the second two-time champion in the history of the championship. Florida State also won the team Moon championship in 2022.
“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. The course played differently during each of the three rounds, and we were able to adapt to the changing conditions. Our ability to adapt is a great learning experience that we can utilize for the remainder of the season.”
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer in the world, finished the tournament with three consecutive rounds of under par golf (71-69-71). She played well on the final day as she finished with a score of 71 which included three birdies and 12 additional holes played at par. Woad was 1 under par over her final seven holes to help the Seminoles fend off Wake Forest who played the final round at 5 under par.
“Lottie played three solid rounds of golf this week in some really tough conditions,” said Bond. “She was able to stay patient even when she got a bead break or two, kept her composure, and did what she needed to do to get her fifth win.”
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. She played her best round on the final day with a 4 under par score of 68. Ting improved her position in the individual standings with by 15 places with her score of 68 in the third round.
Ting’s third round included five birdies on her first 12 holes of the day to move to 5 under par. She closed with five scores of par and one bogey for her only under par round of the championship. Ting finished the event with 10 birdies.
A trio of freshmen in the Seminoles’ lineup – Layla Pedrique (tied for 25th), Sophia Fullbrook (tied for 27th), and Alexandra Gazzoli (tied for 40th) all played well during the tournament with each of the three counting scores toward the team total and the team victory.
Florida State plays its next event at the Golf Club of Briar’s Creek in Charleston, S.C. – in the Briar’s Creek Invitational (March 10-11).
Florida State plays host to the jewel of its schedule – the Florida State Match Up – on March 21, 22, and 23 at the Seminole Legacy Golf Course in Tallahassee.
