FSU sports information:
Florida State sophomore Mirabel Ting is in a tie for seventh place in the individual standings with a two-round total of 143, and the Seminole Women’s Golf Team is in ninth place in the team standings after 36 holes in the Seventh Annual Moon Invitational at the Suntree Country Club. Ting led the Seminoles with four birdies en route to a 1-under par score of 71 and begins play in Tuesday’s final round just one stroke out of fifth place. The Seminoles improved their team standing by five positions and are only four strokes out of moving into the top five in the team standings.
The tournament, which has been plagued by weather since the teams arrived at the course on Saturday, was again delayed early in the second round by rain and wet conditions on the greens.
Auburn and LSU enter Tuesday’s final round of play tied for first in the team standings with scores of 573. Maisie Filler of Florida is the individual leader with scores of 66-69 for a 36-hole total of 135. She is four strokes ahead of LSU’s Aine Donegan in the race for the individual championship.
Ting (tied for seventh) and All-American Lottie Woad (tied for 10th) are the Seminoles’ individual leaders heading into play in the final round. Florida State is one of four teams with multiple players in the top-10 of the individual standings following the first two rounds of play. Ting improved her individual standing with her 1 under par score of 71 in the second round, while Woad moved up four spots and into the top-10 of the individual standings.
“A great tournament has unfortunately been disrupted by weather,” FSU coach Amy Bond said. "The thing about having your routine disrupted by the weather is that you can learn from these days and get better. You know it’s going to be cold; you know it’s going to be windy; you know it’s going to be wet. You have to embrace the conditions because this is golf and every round you play is not going to happen in perfect weather. Playing on days like this is certainly mind over matter and, it’s an opportunity to play outside of your comfort zone.”
Ting totaled a team-high four birdies and 15 holes played at par or better in the second round to keep herself in contention to defend her Moon Invitational individual championship from a year ago. She played her front nine under par with two birdies and eight holes played at par or better. Ting closed her back nine with two birdies on her final six holes to finish under par for the second time in five rounds during the first spring of her Florida State career.
Ting has carded six birdies and 31 of 36 holes scored at par or better in the first two rounds of the tournament.
Woad played solid golf for the second consecutive day as she finished with a 1 over par score of 73. She has a two-round total of 144. Woad carded one birdie (on her final hole) and scored 16 of her 18 holes at par or better in finishing with an even-par score of 144 for the first 36 holes.
Woad is playing for her second consecutive top-10 individual finish at the Moon Invitational. She finished in third place in the individual standings in the event in 2023 and is a cumulative total of 10 strokes under par in five career rounds during the Moon. Woad has carded four of her five scores at par or better in the event.
Florida State will play in an All-ACC group of four teams with Louisville, Wake Forest, and Clemson in the final round – a shotgun start – beginning at 9 a.m.
