FSU sports information:
Florida State sophomore Lottie Woad finished in a tie for third in the individual standings, and the No. 10 ranked Seminole Women's Golf team finished in fifth place in the team standings as play in the 10th Schooner Fall Invitational at the Belmar Golf Club came to a close. Woad carded a 69 for her third consecutive under par round and finished the tournament with a 7-under par score of 203. In gaining her second consecutive top-three individual finish, Woad finished just two strokes out of the individual lead, and as one of four golfers in the field to record below par scores in each of the three rounds of the event.
Woad has now earned five top three individual finishes in the first 13 events of her Florida State career. In two events and six rounds this fall, Woad is a total of 15 strokes under par with each of her six rounds scored below par, and three of her six rounds scored in the 60’s.
No. 2 ranked Wake Forest won the team title as it led the team competition wire-to-wire. The Deacons earned a 22-stroke victory over second-placed Virginia Tech as three ACC teams (Wake, Virginia Tech, and Florida State) finished in the top five of the team standings. Morgan Ketchum earned the individual championship with a 9-under par score of 201. A total of five players from the ACC, including Florida State’s Woad, finished among the top six golfers in the final individual standings.
“This was a decent week for our team overall,” Coach Amy Bond said. “We put ourselves behind the eight ball in the first round, played a great round yesterday, and had a rough start today. I am proud of the girls for the way they battled back and made birdies on the back which allowed us to make up for some of the shots we lost on the front.”
Woad carded her third consecutive round in the 60’s as she finished with scores of 68-66-69 for a 54-hole total of 7-under par 203. She totaled three birdies and 17 holes scored at par or better in the final round. Woad was three strokes under par over her final 13 holes of the round.
Woad totaled 13 birdies in the three round tournaments and has now totaled 25 birdies in the first six rounds and two tournaments of the season.
Senior Charlotte Woad finished in a tie for 12th place with a third round score of 70 and a two-under par final score of 208. She carded four birdies and the seventh eagle of her Florida State career on hole No. 9. Heath was four strokes under par on her final 10 holes of the third round.
Heath has now earned two consecutive top-20 individual finishes and is a total of four strokes under par in the first two tournaments of the fall season.
Senior Alice Hodge played her best golf of the season as she carded scores of 69 in both the second and third rounds. After carding a 75 in the first round, Hodge was in a tie for 65th place. With her final two scores of 69 and her total of 138 on her final 36 holes, she finished the event in a tie for 29th place in the individual standings – an improvement of 36 positions.
Senior Kaylah Williams finished the tournament with a 73 and a total of 142 on her final 36 holes. She carded a career-low score of 69 in the second round. Sophomore Katherine Cook carded three scores of 75 or better and finished with a 74 in the third round. Freshman Bella Bugg carded a 74 in the third round after carding a career-low 70 in the first round.
