GUADALAJARA, Mexico – Junior All-American Lottie Woad, the World's No. 1 ranked amateur player, is in a tie for first place in the individual standings, and the No. 12 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in first place in the team standings after 27 of 54 holes at the Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club. The event is played over two days with 27 holes played Friday, and the final 27 holes played on Saturday.
The Seminoles are the defending tournament champions and playing to become the first two-time winner in the event.
Florida State holds a four stroke lead over TCU and Virginia with 27 holes remaining to be played. The Seminoles, Horned Frogs, and Cavaliers were tied for first place after the first 18 holes of play. The Seminoles' quintet of players finished the first nine holes of the second round at 1 stroke under par and lead TCU and Virginia by four strokes heading in the final day of play.
The Seminoles are the top ACC team in the event after the first day – four strokes ahead of Virginia and 15 strokes ahead of NC State.
"The girls handled their play really well in their first round of the season," said head coach Amy Bond. "They settled in and played some really sharp golf for 27 holes, which is a long day of golf. The conditions were pretty good and the course is in great condition. The hole locations got tougher in the second round, but each of the girls played really good golf."
Woad carded a 4 under par score of 68 in the first round and is even par through the first nine holes of the second round. She has carded 10 birdies on her first 27 holes. Woad was never above par during her first round of play as she birdied her first two holes and finished her back nine at 2 strokes under par.
Woad is tied for the individual lead with two Virginia players -- Amanda Sambach and Rebecca Skoler. Woad's 4 under par score of 68 was tied for the low score of the day with Houston's Moa Svedenskiold.
Florida State's Mirabel Ting, the World's No. 4 ranked amateur player, is in a tie for fourth place in the individual standings with a 3 under par total through 27 holes. The All-American carded a 3 under par score of 69 in the first round and is even par through the first nine holes of the second round.
Ting played 26 holes at par or better with four birdies and only one bogey on the day. Following a birdie on her fourth hole of the first round, Ting stayed under par for the remainder of the round. Ting carded a 69 in the first round and is at even par through the first nine holes of the second round.
Ting is in a group of three players who are tied for fourth – Ting, Svedenskiold, and Lauren Olivares of NC State who are all just one stroke out of the individual lead.
Freshman Sophia Fullbrook is in a group of six who are tied for 10th place in the individual standings heading into the final day of play. She carded an even par score of 72 in the first round with two birdies and 16 holes played at par or better. Fullbrook carded the second eagle of her Florida State career on hole No. 5 during the second round. Her eagle and subsequent birdie on the next hole allowed her to stay at even par for the first 27 holes.
Senior Kaylah Williams is in a tie for 19th place while junior Katherine Cook is in a tie for 29th place in the individual standings. Williams recorded four birdies over her first 27 holes and is at 2 over par through her first 27 holes. Cook is at 4 over par after the first day of play.
"We have put ourselves in a good position as we begin the second round of play," said Bond. "We have to go out and play good golf again on Saturday because it's not going to be easy with all of the good teams in this field."
The final nine holes of the second round are scheduled to begin for all the players at 10:00 ET on Saturday. The third and final round will begin after the completion of the second round by each of the participants.
