NORMAN, Okla. – Florida State won the championship of the Ninth Annual Schooner Fall Classic with a three-stroke victory over TCU as play in the event at the Belmar Golf Club Came to a close. The Seminoles took the lead in the first round and held it for most of the remainder of the event to win the Schooner Fall Classic for the second time. Florida State also won the event in 2016.
Florida State set the school record for a team score in a three-round tournament with its 828 team total. The Seminoles’ team total broke the school record by one stroke. The previous record of 829, came as Florida State won the 2016 Schooner Fall Classic.
Caitlyn Macnab of TCU won the individual championship with a 10 under par score of 200. She defeated Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn of Iowa State by one stroke. Florida State’s Lottie Woad finished in eighth place with a three-round total of 205 while teammate Charlotte Heath finished in ninth place in the individual standings with 54-hole total of 206. The Seminoles were one of only three teams in the 16-team field to finish with two players in the top 10 of the final individual standings.
Head Coach Amy Bond was presented with an autographed guitar by Tricia Covel and signed country music superstar Toby Keith – the tournament co-hosts. The event is held to benefit the OK Kids Korral, a nonprofit group that aids children with cancer and their families. The OK Kids Korral is a “home away from home” facility where children with cancer and their families can spend time either overnight or during the day, cost-free, while receiving treatment at nearby children’s hospitals. Amenities include overnight suites, daytime rooms, dining areas, game rooms, living rooms, a kitchen, a laundry room, and family resource rooms. It is designed as a relaxing, safe haven.
“From start to finish we played good golf,” said Bond. “We played well in a variety of weather conditions on a really good golf course. We didn’t get off the best of starts today but we finished well and that showed me that there’s a lot of heart within the girls on our team. I’m ecstatic to win this event because we are playing for the OK Kids Korral – a special place that is very important to me, and to our program.
“I’m happy for this group to get their first win. Congratulations to them for a great week of golf.”
Freshman Lottie Woad led the Seminoles for a second consecutive tournament as she finished in eighth place in the individual standings with a 5 under par score of 205.
