MELBOURNE, Fla. – The No. 7 ranked Florida State women's golf team is in first place, and Junior All-American Lottie Woad is in first place in the individual standings following the second of two rounds at the Moon Invitational on the Classic Course at the Suntree Country Club. The Seminoles have built a seven-stroke lead over Texas A&M and a nine-stroke lead over South Carolina as they play to win their program record third consecutive tournament championship. Woad has a one-stroke lead over Anne-Sterre Den Dunnen of Wake Forest as the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world plays to win her fifth collegiate championship and second this year.
Florida State now owns a seven-stroke lead over second-place Texas A&M following the second round of play. The Seminoles led UCF by five strokes after the first round.
Woad led the Seminoles with a 3 under par score of 69 during the second round. A pair of freshmen - Alexandra Gazzoli and Layla Pedrique – carded scores of 69 and 73, respectively, to lead the Seminoles to a 1 under par team total for the second round. The Seminoles are the only team in the field of 17 to finish with under par scores in both of the first two rounds of the tournament.
Only three teams have recorded below par team rounds during the first two rounds – the Seminoles, with two, and South Carolina and Wake Forest with one each. Florida State has a 3 under par team total of 573 and are the only team with a below par team score heading into play in Wednesday's second round.
"It was another windy day, but the wind came from an entirely different direction that it did in the first two days," said head coach Amy Bond. "The great thing about today was that all five girls made the adjustment and played really well. They all played solid golf, made pars, and were comfortable during their play. I'm happy with another good round of golf."
Woad, a four-time All-American and the No. 1 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, carded a splendid score of 69 to move into first place in the individual standings. She carded a team-high five birdies, including all five on her final 13 holes of the afternoon. Woad was four strokes under par, starting with a birdie on hole No 6, and has a two-round total of 4 under par total of 140.
Woad is now 10 strokes under par in two events this spring and has a cumulative total of 18 strokes under par for her seven-match junior season.
"Lottie did her thing today and played well under tough conditions," said Bond. "With the wind on this course, it's tough to hit it close, so you have to be good on 10- and 20-foot shots on the green. After making birdies on eight and nine, she played a really solid back nine to finish under par."
Gazzoli, a freshman who is playing in just her fourth career match, sparkled throughout the round as she carded her career-best score of 70. Her score of 70 was one stroke better than her previous low score of 71 during the Landfall Tradition in the fall of 2024. Gazzoli carded four birdies, including two on her final five holes of the day. She was even par on her front nine and two under par on her back nine to finish under par for the second time in eight collegiate rounds.
"Alex played really good golf today," said Bond. "She was super solid throughout the round. It's nice to see freshman go under par and play good golf."
Gazzoli is now in a tie for 15th place in the individual standings – an improvement of 32 positions in the individual standings from her play in the first round.
Pedrique carded a 2 over par score of 73 and is in a tie for eighth place in the individual standings with an even par total of 144. She played a clean scorecard on her back nine with one birdie and eight holes scores at par.
Junior Mirabel Ting and freshman Sophia Fullbrook both carded scores of 75 in the second round. Both Ting and Fullbrook are tied for 21st place in the individual standings with scores of 147.
Florida State plays in the prestigious final group in Tuesday's final round with Texas A&M and South Carolina beginning at 9:40 with a shotgun start.
