Fullbrook Finishes As No. 16 Florida State’s Leader At Schooner Fall Classic

NORMAN, Okla. – Florida State sophomore Sophia Fullbrook carded a final round 69 and finished in a tie for 13^th place in the individual standings, and the No. 16 ranked Seminole women’s golf team finished in sixth place in the team standings at the Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Club. Fullbrook finished as Florida State’s team leader for the second consecutive event, as she finished with an under par tournament score (-2, 208) for the first time in her collegiate career.

Florida State improved its team standing in the final round by two positions as Amy Bond‘s group played their best round of the 54-hole championship. Three Seminole players – Fullbrook, Haruhi Nakatani, and Freya Russell – finished with under par scores of 69 during the final round. Their play helped the Seminoles finish the tournament with a 3-under par team score in the final round. Florida State totaled nine of 15 individual scores at par or better during the three-round tournament.

Oklahoma State, which finished under par in each of its three rounds in the tournament, won the team championship with an 18-under par total of 822 on the par 70 course. Gracie McGovern of TCU and Sydney Givens of Georgia finished tied for first place in the individual standings with identical scores of 9 under par 201.

“We played the second-best round of the day despite the worst weather of the weekend,” said Bond. “We were pulled off the course for about 40 minutes during the third round but the girls continued to play with great attitudes. We finished really well on our last five holes which is a tribute to them and their great attitudes.”

Fullbrook led the Seminoles with scores of 69-70-69 for her three-round total of 2-under par 210. She totaled eight birdies during the tournament. Fullbrook was never more than one stroke over par during any point in the event and was under par for 26 of the 54 holes played over the weekend.

Fullbrook has now earned two top 13 individual finishes (tied for 13^th at the Schooner and tied for ninth at the season-opening Folds of Honor Collegiate) to begin her sophomore season.

Freshman Haruhi Nakatani carded a 1 under par 69 in the final round and finished with a three-round total of even par 210. She carded scores of 70-71-69.  She carded seven birdies including three each in the second and third rounds. Nakatani was under par on 32 of her final 36 holes of the championship and was never more than 1 stroke over par during the event.
