Florida State junior All-American Mirabel Ting shot a 2 under par 70 and is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 6 ranked Seminole Women’s Golf Team is in fourth place in the team standings after the first round of the Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club. Ting (tied for third place, 70), All-American Lottie Woad (tied for fifth place, 71) and freshman Sophia Fullbrook (tied for 10th place, 73) are all in the top 10 of the individual standings as the Seminoles play their fall season-opening match for the 2024-25 season.
Ting, Woad and Fullbrook help make the Seminoles one of only two teams in the 15-team field with three or more players in the top 10 of the individual standings after the first round of play.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Folds of Honor, whose goal it is to provide, through scholarships, to the families of America's fallen or disabled military and first responders. To date, the organization has awarded more than 52,000 scholarships.
Lauren Kim of Texas shot a 5 under par score of 67 and leads the individual race by two strokes over Faith Choi of The Ohio State University. Kim carded a bogey free first round with seven birdies and 11 more holes scored at par. The Longhorns hold a one stroke lead over the Buckeyes and Arizona with the Seminoles just five strokes back with 36 holes remaining to be played.
“There was a lot of good in the first round of the year,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “We have talked to the girls about getting better each day. We have also talked about this event and this golf course and understanding this golf tournament is much bigger than the game of golf.”
Ting finished the first round in a tie for third place with Carolina Melgrtati of Arizona as both players carded identical scores of 70. Ting was five under par with birdies on holes one, four, six 12, and 13 to briefly take over the first round lead. She is just three strokes behind the Kim as the individual leader.
Ting is a preseason third team All-American by Golfweek and Golf Channel.
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer the world, totaled four birdies and 16 holes played at par or better. She birdied three of her last 13 holes, including the par four, 14th hole to move under par where she stayed for the remainder of the round. Woad finished her final five holes of the day at one under par and begins play in the second round on Tuesday just fur strokes out of the lead.
Woad is a consensus preseason First-Team Al-American and the top candidate for the ANNIKA Award entering the 2024-25 fall and spring seasons. She has earned 11 career top five finishes and is looking to win her fourth career collegiate individual championship.
Ting and Woad are just two of the seven golfers in the 75-golfer field who carded blow par scores in the first round of the tournament.
Fullbrook, who is playing in her first career collegiate event, is in a tie for 10th place with a 1 over par score of 73. She played her best golf on her front nine and made the turn at 1 under par. Fullbrook carded the first birdie of her career on the third hole of the first round. She was at even par through her first 17 holes of the round.
The tee times for Tuesday’s second round are opposite from today’s first round as Florida State begins play at 12:45 in the afternoon wave of teams.
