TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's Charlotte Heath shot a 72-hole score of 280 and finished in a tie for 14th place at Stage I of LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Cal., and has advanced to Stage II of Q-School. The Seminole All-American will play in Stage II of Q-School at the Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Fla. (Oct. 17-20). Heath was the fourth-highest finishing amateur and was never above even par with her cumulative total, finishing with scores of 70-70-68-72.
Heath was one of 28 players in the field to card scores of even par or better in each of the four rounds. With eight consecutive holes scored at par to begin her first round, Heath was never above par with her cumulative score any time during the four rounds played. She continuously lowered her score and was 10 strokes under par during the third round of play. Heath played her final 64 holes of the tournament with her cumulative score under par. She totaled 19 birdies and only 11 birdies over the four days of play – she carded nearly 85 percent of her total holes (61 of 72) at par or better.
"I felt like my game was in a good place," said Heath. "There is still a lot more work to be done off the tee, but overall I'm happy with the week and looking forward to stage two."
The 2023 First-Team All-American carded a 2-under par score of 70 in the first round with four birdies and 16 holes scored a par or better. Her second consecutive round of 70 and two-round total of 140 after 36 holes of play moved her into a tie for 28th place in the individual standings. Heath scored a personal tournament-best 68 in the third round which moved her into a tie for 13th place. She closed the event with an even par 72 in the fourth and final round for a 72-hole total of 280.
Heath finished her final 14 holes of the final round at 2-under par.
To advance to Stage II of Q-School, golfers needed to be within the top 125 of more than 300 participants. Golfers who advance from Stage II of Q-School will play in the Q-Series Nov. 30-Dec. 5. Individuals at the Q-Series will play for 2024 LPGA and Epson tour status, depending on their finish.
