Happy Monday, Florida State fans. For those of you returning to work, we’ll try to make your work day more enjoyable by keeping you informed. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State’s fourth-ranked women’s golf team wrapped up the 3-day Clemson Invitational with a come-from-behind victory on Sunday. After finishing the first round in fourth place, the Seminoles entered Sunday tied for second at -7.
FSU shot -3 on the day to surpass Furman, who entered Sunday with a 1-stroke lead. The Paladins shot an even par for the day to finish two strokes behind the Seminoles. Rival Florida entered the day even with FSU, but shot +1 to finish in third place and three strokes back.
Florida State not only won the team title, but the individual title as well. That honor belonged to Matilda Castren, who finished -9. She also rallied on Sunday to beat Texas’ Sophia Schubert, Furman’s Alice Chen and Florida’s Maria Torres all by two strokes.
