Fullbrook Leads Seminoles into First Place at Florida State Match Up

TALLAHASSEE – Sophomore Sophia Fullbrook is in first place in the individual standings, and the No. 18 ranked Seminole women’s golf team is in first place in the team standings with one round remaining to be played at the Florida State Match up at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club. Both Fullbrook and the Seminoles will play for championships in Sunday’s final round. Fullbrook will play for her first career individual championship while the Seminoles play for their second consecutive – and sixth overall – team championship at the Florida State Match Up.

Florida State’s Fullbrook (first), Elin Pudas Remler (tied for third), and Haruhi Nakatani (tied for third) give the Seminoles three of the top four players in the individual standings through two rounds of play.

Fullbrook carded a career-best score of 67 with six birdies and 17 holes scored at par or better and holds a four stroke lead over Jasmine Leovao of Eastern Michigan. Her score of 67 is tied for the 16^th best single-round score in the 13-year history of the championship.

Florida State finished with 9 under par team score of 279 and were the only team to finish under par in the second round. The Seminoles entered the round in second place and three strokes behind Tulsa; they enter the third round in first place with a 13-stroke lead of the Golden Hurricanes.

Through the first two rounds and 36 holes, the Seminoles lead the 12-team field  in par 4 hole scoring, par 5 hole scoring, holes scored at par (109), and eagles (three).

“Today was a good day,” said head coach Amy Bond. “We made a lot of birdies and played a solid round of golf. I am proud of the way they adjusted to the course conditions as the wind picked up a bit. It was great to see them take the lead and I would like to see them continue to gain confidence tomorrow.”

Fullbrook played the best round of her collegiate career with five birdies on her first 13 holes. Following her only bogey of the day on hole No 14, she finished the round a 1 under par with a birdie on hole No. 18. Including her score of 69 in the first round of the championship, Fullbrook has carded consecutive scores in the 60s for the first time in her career.

Fullbrook’s 36-hole total of 136 is her best collegiate score for the first two rounds of a tournament in her career as a Seminole.

Pudas Remler carded a 3 under par score of 69. She moved up eight spaces in the individual standings and is looking to earn her second consecutive top three finish after finish in second…
