Baggarly helps host Florida capture team title in Florida Gators Invitational


   While in-state rival Florida State was dusting off an elite field in the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, Florida and Miami were battling it out in the Florida Gators Invitational at the Gators’ home, the Mark Bostic Golf Course in Gainesville, Fla., over the weekend.
   Miami had hosted the Hurricane Invitational in March in the past, but the Hurricanes’ home course, the Biltmore, a Donald Ross gem, is being renovated and it wasn’t certain if it was going to be ready in time for the tournament. 
   That’s according to a source close to the T Mac Tees Off blog. Well, OK my brother Joe, a retired Coral Gables police officer, is a member at the Biltmore and he told me. He helped out with scoring at the Hurricane Invitational and provided some interesting on-site insights.
   The Hurricanes, No. 24 in the latest Golfstat rankings, opened the weekend by grabbing a three-shot lead over the host Gators, ranked eighth, after Saturday’s double-round. Miami smashed the tournament’s single-round record with an 8-under-par 272 over the 6,701-yard, par-70 Mark Bostick layout in the opening round.
   The Hurricanes added a 5-over 285 Saturday afternoon for a 557 total that left them three shots ahead of Florida, which posted a pair of even-par 280s and was at even-par 560.
   But the Gators, behind Addie Baggarly, a sophomore from Jonesborough, Tenn. who finished in a tie for second in the individual standings, came on strong with a 2-under 278 in the final round for a tournament-record 2-under 838 total.
   Miami, an Atlantic Coast Conference rival of Florida State’s, carded a 6-over 286 in the final round to fall back into a tie for second with No. 34 Campbell at 3-over 843, five shots behind the Gators. The Camels matched par in the opening round with a 280 and added a 2-over 282 in Saturday afternoon’s second round before finishing up with a 1-over 281.
   No. 40 Tennessee matched its Southeastern Conference rival Florida’s 2-under 278 in the final round to finish fourth at 6-over 846, three shots behind Miami and Campbell.
   No. 52 East Carolina was another six shots behind Tennessee in fifth at 12-over 852 after a final round of 1-over 281. No. 20 Clemson, another ACC entry, was three shots behind East Carolina in sixth place at 15-over 855. The Tigers matched Miami’s tournament-record team round of 8-under 272 in Saturday afternoon’s second round, but opened with a 291 and closed with a 292.
   No. 42 Penn State finished 10th in the 13-team field at 36-over 876. The Nittany Lions, who were a regular starter in Miami’s Hurricane Invitational and replaced it with a trip to Gainesville, struggled in the opening round with a 299. They improved to an 7-over 287 in Saturday afternoon’s second round before finishing up with a 290.
   Penn State and Campbell had seen the final two rounds of the River Landing Classic in Wallace, N.C. wiped out by a snowstorm Tuesday morning, so the Nittany Lions and the Camels were probably just happy to be teeing it up in the Florida sunshine.
   Baggarly fired a 1-under 69 in the final round that gave her a 3-under 207 total and left her a shot behind the individual champion, Tennessee’s Michaela Williams, a junior from Athens, Ala., in a three-way tie for second.
   Marta Perez, a junior from Spain, finished in a tie for sixth for the Gators at even-par 210 after closing with their best round of the day Sunday, a 2-under 68.
   Elin Esborn, a redshirt sophomore from Sweden, matched par in the final round with a 70 to end up among the group tied for 14th at 3-over 213. Clara Manzalini, a freshman from Italy, finished among the group tied for 18th at 4-over 214. Florida was so strong in the final round that it had the luxury of tossing Manzalini’s solid 2-over 72.
   Rounding out the Florida lineup was Sierra Brooks, a junior from Orlando, Fla. and the No. 22 player in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). Brooks, the runnerup in the 2015 U.S. Women’s Amateur in Portland, Ore. as a 17-year-old, rejuvenated her career when she joined the Florida program a year ago after transferring from Wake Forest.
   Brooks struggled in the opening round with a 77, but bounced back in a big way with a 2-under 68 in Saturday afternoon’s second round. Her 1-over 71 in the final round left her in the group tied for 24th at 6-over 216.
   Tennessee’s Williams closed with a sizzling 5-under 65 to claim the individual title with a 4-under 206 total. After opening with a 3-over 73, Williams got into contention with a 2-under 68 in Saturday afternoon’s second round.
   Joining Florida’s Baggarly in the trio tied for second at 207 were Central Florida’s Elizabeth Moon, a freshman from Forest City, Ark., and East Carolina’s Dorthea Forbrigd, a junior from Norway.
   Moon, who lost in heartbreaking fashion to eventual champion Erica Shepherd in the semifinals of the 2017 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship at Boone Valley Golf Club in Augusta, Mo., had rounds of 67 and 68 after opening up with a 72. Forbrigd matched Williams’ blazing final-round 65 to get her share of runnerup honors.
   Campbell’s Erica Hawkins, a freshman from Lexington, N.C., finished alone in fifth place, a shot behind the trio tied for second at 2-under 208. Hawkins held the individual lead at the end of Saturday’s double-round by following up a 1-under 69 in the morning with a 2-under 68 in the afternoon. She closed with a 1-over 71.
   Hawkins’ teammate, Isabell Ekstrom, a sophomore from Sweden, joined Florida’s Perez in a tie for sixth at even-par 210. Ekstrom closed with a solid 1-under 69.
   Ohio State’s Aneka Seumanutafa, a freshman from Emmitsburg, Md. who joined the program at the start of the spring semester, finished alone in eighth at 1-over 211. Seumanutafa set a tournament record for a single round with a scintillating 6-under 64 in Saturday afternoon’s second round to get into contention for the individual title before finishing up with a 2-over 72.
   Seumanutafa showed up with fellow Maryland teen Faith Choi at Kennett Square Golf & Country Club last fall and grabbed the lone ticket available to the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship in a Golf Association of Philadelphia-administered qualifier. The U.S. Women’s Four-Ball tees off April 27 at Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla.
   An otherwise tough weekend for Penn State was highlighted by a strong showing from Sarah Willis, a freshman from Eaton, Ohio who made a huge splash by winning the individual title in record fashion in the Nittany Lion Invitational last fall.
   After opening with a 75, Willis fired a 1-under 69 in Saturday afternoon’s second round before finishing up with a 2-under 68 that left her among the group tied for ninth at 2-over 212.
   Senior Cara Basso, a Villa Maria Academy product and winner of the Women’s Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Match-Play Championship each of the last two summers, ended up among the group tied for 44th at 220. Basso contributed a 1-over 71 to the Nittany Lions’ solid second-round showing before finishing up with a 75.
   Senior Lauren Waller, the 2014 PIAA Class AAA runnerup as a senior at Canon-McMillan, was a shot behind Basso in the group tied for 48th at 221. Waller also carded a 1-over 71 in the second round before finishing up with a 74.
   Junior Megan McLean, a Voorhees High product, struggled in the second round with an 80, but her 74 was the low round for Penn State in the opening round and she closed with a 3-over 73 that left her in the group tied for 60th at 227.
   Senior Jackie Rogowicz, a two-time District One champion at Pennsbury, struggled at Mark Bostic, finishing alone in 68th at 232. She had a pair of 76s in Saturday’s double-round and closed with an 80.
   Rogowicz had worked her way into a tie for second with three holes to play in the second round at River Landing last week before the snowstorm not only wiped out the final round, but the incomplete second round, that had been suspended by darkness, as well. She just wasn’t able to carry her momentum from River Landing to Mark Bostick.
   Junior Madelein Herr, the District One Class AAA champion as a senior at Council Rock North, competed as an individual, as she has in all of Penn State’s spring tournaments. Like Rogowicz, Herr struggled at Mark Bostick, closing with a 79 that left her in the group tied for 65th at 230.
