Heath Earns Medalist Honors, Seminoles Finish Third at Landfall

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Junior Charlotte Heath earned her first career individual championship, and the Florida State Women’s Golf team finished in third place in the team standings as play in the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall came to a close. Heath led the Seminoles to the best team score of the tournament in the final round as she carded a 68 to lead the Seminoles to their third top-three finish of the fall season. The third-year Seminole finished as the co-champion along with San Jose State’s Louisa Carlbom.

Florida State, which entered the tournament ranked 18th nationally, defeated 10 teams in the top-50 of the Golfstat rankings including No. 4 South Carolina and No. 11 Duke. The Seminoles completed the tournament with under par team scores in each of the three rounds and finished with a 15 under par team total. Florida State’s 849 team total is tied for the eighth best three-round tournament score in school history, while its 15 under par total is tied for the seventh-best team score vs. par in school history.

Heath’s score of 206 is a Landfall Tradition tournament record and ties her personal best score for a three-round tournament. Her minus 10 score vs. par ranks as Heath’s career best, bettering by three strokes her 7 under par score in the Moon Invitational during the spring of 2021. Heath’s score of 206 is tied for the 10th best three-round tournament score in school history.

“All of our girls played really good golf this week and I’m very proud of them,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “They come out on a mission today and finished with the best round of the tournament. Playing well in this event allows us to enter the fall break with a lot of confidence, which I am very happy about. A big congratulations goes to Charlotte for winning her first collegiate tournament.”

No. 9 ranked San Jose State finished as the tournament champion with a 22 under par total of 842. Wake Forest of the ACC finished in second place, six strokes behind the Spartans. The Seminoles finished in second place among the six ACC teams in the event.

In winning her first career individual championship, Heath finished with scores of 66-72-68 for her tournament score of 10 under par 206. She finished tied with Carlbom who carded scores of 67-70-69.
