Junior All-American Lottie Woad finished in a tie for first place in the individual standings, and the No. 11 ranked Florida State Women’s Golf Team won the team title of the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall on championship Sunday. The Seminoles defeated Duke by one stroke and North Carolina by three strokes to win the event for the first time and claim their first championship[p of the fall 2024 season.
Woad claimed her fourth career individual championship as she finished in a tie for the individual championship with Lauren Olivares Leon of NC State. The world’s top ranked amateur player carded a 73 in the final round to finish with a 6 under par total of 210. She carded a score of 65 in the first round to tie the school record for a single round score and closed with scores 72 in the second round and 73 in the third round.
Woad has now won individual championships at the fall 2022 Ivy League Intercollegiate, the spring 2023 Florida State Match Up, the fall 2023 ANNIKA Intercollegiate, and now the Fall 2024 Landfall Tradition.
Woad has been the world’s No. 1 ranked amateur player for 13 consecutive weeks – since July 31, 2024.
“Today was the toughest of the three days of the tournament because of the cold, rain and wind,” said FSU coach Amy Bond. “It was a good battle back and forth (with Duke) and it was a matter of which team could make one more par.
“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.”
Woad was her usual consistent self as she finished her fourth individual title with a 73 in the final round of the championship. She totaled one birdie and 16 holes scored at par, and was never more than one stroke over par during the final round. Woad carded 12 birdies during the event – tied for the fourth-highest total of the 96 golfers in the field.
Freshman Sophia Fullbrook finished in a tie for 22nd place in the individual standings with a three round total of 2 over par 218. She carded two third round birdies to earn her third career top 25 finish.
Senior Kayla Williams earned her sixth career top 25 finish as she carded a 76 in the final round to close with a three round total of 3 over par 219. She carded scores of 72-71-76 and has now earned consecutive top 25 finishes for the first time in her career. Williams finished in a tie for eighth place in the individual standings at last week’s Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
Freshman Christina Surcey finished in a tie for 27th place in the individual standings as she closed with a 76 for a 4 over par total of 220. She opened the event with a 70 and totaled a 144 for the first 36 holes of the championship. Surcey carded three birdies on her final seven holes to help the Seminoles claim the team championship on the final day of the event.
Freshman Alexandra Gazzoli played the best round of the day for the Seminoles as she carded a 1 under par score of 71. She finished with a three round total of 6 over par 222. Gazzoli closed the event at 3 under par on her final 15 holes with three birdies, no bogeys, and 15 consecutive holes played at par or better.
The championship capped a splendid fall season as the Seminoles earned four top four team finishes – first at the Landfall Tradition, second at the Folds of Honor Collegiate, third at the Schooner Fall Classic, and tied for fourth at the Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
Florida State opens it spring season at the IJGA Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club (Jan. 31-Feb. 1) and play host to the Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club (March 21-23) in Tallahassee.
