NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. – Junior All-American Lottie Woad is in third place in the individual standings, and the No. 9 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in a tie for fourth place in the team standings after the first two rounds of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Woad has three holes left to play to complete her second round. Her even par second round score has put her in contention to win her fourth collegiate individual championship.
South Carolina moved up two spots in the team standings in the second round and currently holds the lead in the six-team competition. The Gamecocks (first), Oregon (second), Arkansas (third), Florida State (tied for fourth), Oklahoma State (tied for fourth) and Wake Forest (sixth) will play for the top four spots in the team standings after Tuesday's final round of stroke play to advance to match on Wednesday. The team champion in the event will be decided after two rounds of match play on the final day of competition. The individual champion will be crowned after 54 holes of stroke play on Tuesday.
Woad, the No. 1 ranked amateur player in the world, will finish the final three holes of her second round, then play her third round to complete 54 holes of stroke play. She is eight strokes behind the overall leader, Carolina Chacarra of Wake Forest, and four strokes behind Kiara Romer of Oregon in the race for the individual championship. Woad played even par golf in the second round to move up the leaderboard by eight spots and put herself in contention for her first individual championship of the 2024 fall season.
"The golf course put up a good test today with the windy conditions," said Bond. "We have some work to do tomorrow to finish in the top four, but our girls are playing with a lot of confidence. They hung in there all day under the tough conditions. We are looking to getting back out here early tomorrow and showing what we learned from playing in the tough conditions today."
Woad is even par after 15 holes of the second round with one birdie, 13 holes scored at par, and one bogey. She concluded her day with nine consecutive holes of par golf. Through her first 33 holes, Woad has carded three birdies and 22 holes scored at par in her first two rounds.
Woad has been the No. 1 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings for each of the last 12 weeks and for 17 weeks since ascending to the top spot in the world for the first time on June 12, 2024.
Senior Kaylah Williams is enjoying one of her finest days as a Seminole and has finished her second round play in 10th place in the individual standings. She has carded scores of 72 and 76 for a 36-hole total of 148. Williams has carded four birdies, including three in the second round. She was in a tie for sixth place in the individual standings with a first round score of 72 – her best of the fall season.
Florida State is playing with three freshmen (Sophia Fullbrook, Alexandra Gazzoli, and Christina Surcey) in its lineup for the first time this season. The trio combined for three birdies in the first and second rounds. With a first round score of 73, Fullbrook was in tie for seventh place in the individual standings.
Woad and Fullbrook will finish their second rounds of play beginning at 10:00 (ET) and then played their third rounds to complete stroke play.
