CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Sophomore All-American Lottie Woad is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 10 ranked Florida State Women's Golf Team is in fifth place in the team standings after two rounds of the Tar Heel Invitational at the Governors Club. Woad enters Tuesday's final round just five strokes off the individual lead as she plays for her second individual title of the fall season. The Seminoles are looking to earn their second consecutive top-five team finish to close out their three-match fall season.

"We made too many big numbers today and that's exactly what I told the team," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "Our plan for tomorrow is better decision making, better execution, and to shoot the best round of the day." 

Woad carded scores of 69-70 for a two-round total of 139 as she plays for her third consecutive top-three finish. She finished in a tie for first place in the season-opening ANNIKA Intercollegiate and completed her play at the Schooner Fall Classic in a tie for third place.

Woad's first-round score of 69 included four birdies and 16 holes scored at par or better. Following an uncharacteristically slow start, Woad finished the round with a four under par score over the final 13 holes for her fourth consecutive score in the 60's. She carded a 70 with four more birdies in the second round. In eight total rounds this fall, she has carded eight rounds under par and is a total of 20 strokes under par.

Senior All-American Charlotte Heath is in a tie for 19th place in the individual standings with a two-round total of 146. She carded an even par 72 in the first round – a score that included a team-high five birdies. Heath was never above par and was as many as four strokes under par during the round. In one stretch of six holes from hole No. 7 through hole No. 12 she carded four birdies to move to four strokes under par.

Heath is averaging 71.00 strokes and is two strokes under par in eight rounds this fall.

Junior Kaylah Williams carded a 73 in the first round, senior Alice Hodge finished with a 74 in the second round, and sophomore Katherine Cook totaled a 75 in the second round to round out the Seminoles' lineup.

Florida State is the second highest finishing ACC team in the field – only one stroke behind North Carolina. The Seminoles are placed ahead of ACC members Virginia Tech, NC State and Miami.

The 14-team field plays in foursomes in the final round on Tuesday. The Seminoles will play with Tennessee and Kentucky from the SEC and Virgina Tech from the ACC to close out the fall season.
