NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. – ACC Golfer of the Year Mirabel Ting is in first place in the individual standings, and the No. 2 ranked and No. 1 seeded Florida State women's golf team is in first place in the team standings after the first round of the 2025 NCAA Lexington Regional golf championship at the Keane Trace Golf Club. The Seminoles have four of their players in the top nine of the individual standings as Lottie Woad, Kaylah Williams, and Sophia Fullbrook all tied for ninth in the with scores of 1 under par 71.
Florida State's Ting holds a one stroke lead over Julia Zigrossi of Western Kentucky, who carded a 3 under par score of 69 in the first round. The Seminoles hold a seven stroke lead over Georgia Southern and Kansas State, who both shot even par team scores of 288. Florida State finished as the only team in the field of 12 to shot under par in the first round.
The Seminoles started hot and finished well as they carded nine birdies on the front nine and five on the back nine. Florida State finished as the first round leaders in the team standings, first with 66 total pars, second with 14 birdies and 12th of the 12 teams with the fewest bogeys (six).
"All of the girls did a really good job with the weather conditions today," said ACC Coach of the Year Amy Bond. "It's not easy to keep your focus when it's raining off and on throughout the entire round. They all kept their focus, took advantage of what the course presented to them, and made the most of their opportunities. One of our keys is staying in the present, and they all did that well today."
Ting was on a tear from the opening hole, as she birdied two of her first five holes. Following a bogey on her sixth hole, the All-American finished her final 12 holes at 3 under par with three birdies and nine more holes scored at par.
Ting is now a total of 64 strokes under par in eight events and 20 rounds this year. She has carded at least one score in the 60s in each of her eight events, with 15 of her 20 rounds as a junior being scored in the 60s. She is averaging a career-low 68.60 stroke and has lowered her career average to 71.02.
"I putted really well on the greens and was confident on the putts I had today," said Ting. "My approach shots weren't as good but putting made it easier today."
Ting is the No. 1 ranked player in the NCAA and the No. 2 ranked amateur in the world by the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
"Mirabel had a really good day today," said Bond. "She made a lot of footage putts today – lengthy putts that allowed her to take advantage of how well she played."
