TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – Beatrice Wallin, who led Florida State to a fifth place finish in the 2022 NCAA Championship Finals, has earned All-American First-Team honors as named by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association. She becomes just the second four-time All-America in school history, after earning All-American First-Team honors in 2021 and 2022 and All-American Mention honors in 2019 and 2020.
Wallin led the Seminoles to a program-best tied for fifth place finish, and into match play at the NCAA Championships for the first time in program history earlier this week. She also led Florida State to the NCAA Tallahassee Regional Championship, and in doing so became the first Seminole to win an outright individual regional championship.
Wallin averaged 72.52 strokes in 27 rounds during nine tournaments as a senior. She won the individual title at the Tallahassee Regional Championship, finished in a tie for 2nd at the Valspar Augusta Invitational, tied for fifth at the Moon Invitational, and tied for seventh at the Florida State Match Up. Wallin finished under par in two events, including the Tallahassee Regional Championship when she finished with a 6 under par score of 210.
“I’m really happy and thankful to have achieved this great honor,” said Wallin. “It feels great to leave college with such an awesome legacy. Becoming a four-time All-American is something I wanted to do, and with help of so many people at Florida State, and within the golf program, I have gotten the opportunities to develop my game.”
Wallin closed her career ranked second in school history with a career-stroke average of 72.11 in 104 rounds during 30 events. She finished with three individual victories – the Florida State Match Up (spring of 2021), the Pinetree Women’s Collegiate (spring of 2021) and the NCAA Tallahassee Regional (spring 2022). Wallin carded 54 of her 104 rounds (.519 percent) at par or better – the highest percentage in school history with 100 or more career rounds played. Her 54 rounds scored at par or better ranks second in school history. Wallin was named the ACC Golfer of the Year in 2021 and earned All-ACC honors three times.
Wallin graduated from Florida State University on April 29, 2022, with a degree in Humanities.
“We are so proud of Beatrice and everything she has accomplished as a student-athlete at Florida State,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “For her to earn First-Team All-American honors this season, and become the second four-time All-American in the history of our great program, is truly amazing. She persevered through some extraordinary circumstances that affected the college golf world, and to earn All-American honors four times is an incredible accomplishment.”
