NORMAN, Okla. – Florida State freshman Lottie Woad is in a tie for fifth place in the individual standings, and the Seminole Women’s Golf Team is in first place in the team standings with one round remaining to be played in the Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Club. The Seminoles increased their lead from one stroke to six strokes in round two, and enter the final round of the event with a six stroke lead over Oklahoma and a seven stroke lead over Houston, who are in second and third places, respectively, in the team standings.
The Seminoles’ overall score of 552 through the first two rounds of the classic is the best two-round team score in school history. The previous 36 hole record for a team score was 568 at the 2018 Cougar Classic. Florida State carded a school record for a single round (267) in Saturday’s first round.
“The conditions were more difficult today compared to yesterday,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “But I thought we handled it pretty well and had an overall good day. We extended our lead and that’s one of our goals when we are in this position.
“One of our goals is also to play in the final group on the final day and we have accomplished that, too. I think the wind is going to be a factor again tomorrow and we just have to compete and play the course well like we know we can.”
Woad carded a 71 on Sunday and is in a tie for fifth place in the individual standings with a two-round total of 136. She begins play in Monday’s final round just three strokes behind the individual leader, Carmen Griffiths of Louisville. Griffiths carded a 5 under par score of 65 and has a 36 hole total of 133. A total of three strokes separate the top seven players in positions one through tied for fifth.
Woad carded three birdies in the second round and has earned seven birdies and one eagle through her first two rounds of play. She has not been more than one stroke above par at any point through the first two rounds of play.
Junior Charlotte Heath also carded a 71 in Sunday’s second round and is in a tie for 12thth place in the individual standings with a two-round total of 138. She is in line for a top-10 finish as she is only five strokes out of the lead and one stroke out of seventh place. Heath has earned eight career top-10 finishes with her most recent coming at the 2022 ACC Championships.
Senior Amelia Williamson finished with the best score of the round for the Seminoles as she carded an even par score of 70. She has played extremely consistent golf in this event with scores of 70-71 for a two-round total of 141. Williamson carded a team-leading five birdies on Sunday and improved her individual seeding by 18 places in the standings as she moved from a tie for 48th place after the first round into a tie for 30th place after two rounds of play.
