FSU sports information:
Junior All-American Lottie Woad carded a final round 70 and finished in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 9 ranked Florida State Women’s Golf team finish in a tie for fourth place in the team standings in the final standings of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Despite finishing in a tie for fourth in the team standings, the Seminoles fell short of playing on the final day of match play as South Carolina was awarded the fourth and final team position on individual scores.
South Carolina won the tiebreaker based on the total/cumulative scores of the fifth (non-counting) players’ scores through the three rounds.
Oregon won the team championship and advanced to the final day of match play in the tournament along with Arkansas, Wake Forest, and South Carolina. Carolina Chacarra of Wake Forest won the individual championship with a four-stroke victory over Oregon’s Kiara Romero with Woad placing third.
Woad has now finished in the top three in five consecutive tournaments including the 2024 NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship (third), the 2024 NCAA Championship Finals (second), the 2024 Folds of Honor Collegiate (tied for third), the 2024 Schooner Fall Classic (tied for second), and the Jackson T. Stephens Cup (third).
Woad (third place) and senior Kaylah Williams (tied for eighth place) allowed Florida State to rank as one of three teams in the event (also Oregon and Arkansas) to finish the prestigious championship with multiple players in the top eight of the individual standings.
“We played our best round of the tournament today which we are happy about,” FSU coach Amy Bond said. “We are disappointed about playing well and not qualifying for match play but there are lessons to be learned from every round. Ultimately, it comes down to one shot in each tournament; I stress each day the value of every shot. Unfortunately one shot cost us an opportunity to advance to match play.
“We got better today, and we will be better in the long run because of this disappointment.”
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur player in the world, was her consistent self as she finished with an even par 70 – a round that included 17 holes scored at par or better with 16 scored a par. Woad finished the event as she carded pars on 41 of her 54 holes played (.759 percent) including scores of par or better on 33 of her final 36 holes.
Woad has now earned 14 career top five individual finishes and 19 career top-10 individual finishes in 22 career events as a Seminole. She has finished outside of the top 10 only once in her last 13 tournaments dating to the start of the fall 2023 season.
Williams finished her play with a 2 over par score of 72 and a three-round total of 220. Her tied for eighth place finish is the second-best finish of her career – rivaling her sixth place finish in the Florida State Match Up during the spring of 2023. Williams’s three-round score of 220 ranks as her best since a 214 score at the 2023 ANNIKA Intercollegiate.
Williams carded a pair of scores of 72 in the Stephens Cup and has now carded scores of 72 in three of her last five rounds.
Freshman Sophia Fullbrook carded a 1 over par score of 71 in Tuesday’s third round of play – her best score of the event. She carded scores of 71 in the first round and 73 in the third round and finished in 19th place in the individual standings.
The Seminoles close out their fall season as they play in the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C. with play beginning on Friday. The event is a 54-hole event at the Country Club of Landfall. Florida State finished in third place in the event in 2023.
