All-American Lottie Woad is in second place and All-American Mirabel Ting is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 3 ranked Seminoles are in second place in the team standings after the first two rounds of the 37th Annual ACC Championship at the Sedgefield Country Club. Woad is one stroke out of first place, and Ting is two strokes out of first place as the pair fight to become the first individual ACC champions in Florida State history. Andrea Revuelta of Stanford is the individual leader with a 10 under par total of 134. Woad has a two-round score of 135 and Ting is through 36 holes at 136.

As expected, the No. 3 ranked Seminoles and the No. 1 ranked Stanford Cardinal are battling for the No. 1 seed in match play which begins on Friday following the final round of stroke play on Thursday. The Cardinal lead the Seminoles by three strokes after two rounds of play.

The individual ACC champion will be decided following the third round of stroke play on Thursday. The top six teams (currently Stanford, Florida State, Virginia, North Carolina, Wale Forest, and Cal) advance to three rounds of match play with the top two teams earning byes into the semifinals. The quarterfinals and semifinals of match play will be played on Friday with the championship match scheduled for Saturday.

“Playing 36 holes is a long day,” said Seminole head coach Amy Bond. “However, each of the girls showed a lot of grit and battled for each of the 36 holes. The conditions were difficult and the course was hard, but they all handled the conditions to the best of their abilities.

“It was a good day and we are really excited for what is ahead of us tomorrow."

Woad carded scores of 69 and 66 to reach her total of 135 while Ting carded scores of 66 and 70 to reach her total of 136. The scores of 66 for both golfers is tied for the second-best score by a Florida State golfer in the ACC Championship and are the best scores since Caroline Westrup carded a 66 in the first round of the 2007 ACC Championship. The school record for a single round score by a Florida State player in the ACC Championship (and the overall school record) is a 65 by Kris Tamulis during the third round of the 2003 ACC Championship.

The Seminoles’ two round total of 564 is the second-best 36-hole total in school history – second only to a 554 total (284-270) in the first and second rounds of the fall 2024 Schooner Fall Classic. Florida State’s 12 under par total of the first two rounds of the 2025 ACC Championship now stands as the school record for most strokes under par in the first two rounds of an event in school history.

Woad, who is playing in her second career ACC Tournament at Sedgefield, played one of the best rounds of her career in carding a 66 on the second round. She began the round with three consecutive birdies, was four under after her first nine holes (the Seminoles started on hole 10 in the second round) and totaled two birdies on her second nine to finish with a clean card. Woad totaled six birdies and 12 rounds at par in the round.

Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur player in the world for the 36th consecutive week, totaled 11 birdies in the first two rounds of play. She is tied for the tournament lead with Ting and North Carolina’s Helen Yeung as all three totaled 11 birdies in the first two rounds of play. Following a bogey on her first hole of the day, Woad was 10 strokes under par on her final 35 holes of the afternoon.

Ting, the No. 2 ranked amateur player in the world for the third consecutive week, enjoyed an outstanding day of golf as she carded scores of 66 and 70 for a two-round total of 136. Along with her 11 total birdies (seven in the first round and four in the second round) she carded 22 rounds scored at par. She was never above par with her cumulative score during either round, and played her best golf on her second nine in the first round as she totaled five birdies on nine holes (four consecutive on holes 13, 14,15, and 16) and tied her career0low score with her magnificent total of 66.

“Lottie and Mirabel played very well today,” said Bond. “Mirabel was at her best in round one and Lottie was at her best in round two. They’ve gotten us where we are this year, and today was no different.

Freshmen Sophia Fullbrook and Alexandra Gazzoli are in a tie for 29th place in the individual standings with scores of 148. Fullbrook, the queen of pars, totaled 22 pars and 6 birdies in finishing the day with scores of 73 and 75. Gazzoli totaled scores of 76 and 72 while earning seven birdies in the two rounds of play. Both Fullbrook and Gazzoli are playing in the ACC Championship for the first time in their careers.
