Woad Leads Florida State Through Tar Heel Invitational
10/10/2023 6:20:00 PM | Women's Golf
Florida State All-American Lottie Woad finished in a tie for sixth place in the individual standings, and the Seminole Women's Golf Team finished in ninth place in the team standings, as play in the Tar Heel Invitational at the Governors Club ended. Woad earned her third consecutive top-10 individual finish with a tie for first place finish in the ANNIKA Intercollegiate, a tie for third place finish in the Schooner Invitational, and tie for sixth place finish in the Tar Heel Invitational. She closed the fall season at a cumulative total of 18 strokes under par.
Senior Alice Hodge led the Seminoles on the scoreboard in the final day with a 1 over par score of 73. She finished in a tie for 49th in the individual standings – an impressive improvement of 23 positions in the individual standings after the first round of play.
"Today was a very disappointing way the end the fall," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "However, we now know and understand what we have to work on, and how hard we have to work during the off season. At times we didn't make good decisions, which unfortunately cost us big numbers. I told them after the round that bad shots will happen, but decisions we can fix."
Woad continued her All-American play as she finished under par in her third consecutive tournament. She closed out the fall season at 1 under par on her final 12 holes of the round and with scores of 69-70-74 for the three round event. Woad finished as Florida State's leading golfer for the third time this season and for the 10th time in her 14 events as a Seminole.
In averaging 71.00 stokes in her three rounds played in the Tar Heel, Woad brought her career stroke average to 70.68. She is just 0.08 strokes from tying the all-time career record for lowest stroke average in school history. Seminole All-American Frida Kinhult holds the Florida State record at 70.60.
Senior All-American Charlotte Heath finished in a tie for 29th place with a three-round total of 222. She totaled scores of 72-74-76. Junior Kaylah Williams finished in a tie for 45th place in the individual standings with scores of 74-76-76 for a tournament total of 225.
Hodge played her best golf of the event with a 1 over par score of 73 in the final round. She closed well as she was 2 under par with two birdies and each of her final 12 holes played at par or better. For the round, she played 16 of 18 holes at par or better. Hodge totaled six birdies during the tournament.
Florida State opens its 2024 spring schedule at the IJGA Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club in Guadalajara, Mexico (Feb. 2-3). The Seminoles play host to the jewel of their schedule – the Florida State Match Up – on March 15-17 at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Tallahassee.
Both Woad and Heath are set to represent their home country of England in the World Amateur Championships in Abu-Dhabi (Oct. 25-28). It marks the second consecutive year the Florida State pair will play in the world championship.
