Nakatani Lands Top 10 Finish at ACC Championship

WILMINGTON, N.C. –  The No. 16 Florida State women’s golf team finished stroke play on Friday at the 2026 ACC Championship, which is being held at the Porters Neck Country Club.

In her first ACC Championship, Haruhi Nakatani posted a final round of 4-under, 68. She carded four birdies on her first nine holes, including three-in-a-row.  Nakatani added three more on the back nine and climbed the leaderboard to tie for sixth place, finishing 6-under, 210. Over three rounds, Nakatani led the field in birdies, sinking 18, which were three more than the next player.

It was the highest finish for a freshman at the ACC Championship since Frida Kinhult tied for fifth place at the 2019 tournament.

“Haruhi played great,” FSU head coach Amy Bond said. “This was her type of course and she did a great job of taking advantage of it. I was with her most of the round today and she played well. As a team, we had our best day of the tournament today. It’s disappointing not to defend but there are bigger things on the horizon for us. It’s great that we get to come back home to Tallahassee and host a regional at home.”

Sophia Fullbrook added a round of 1-under, 71 on Friday, carding three birdies. Fullbrook finished the tournament at 2-over, 218 moving up to tie for 35th.

Alexandra Gazzoli and Haley Davis contributed rounds of 3-over, 75. Gazzoli closed the tournament at 8-over, 224.

Florida State finished the tournament at 13-over, 877 after turning in a score of 1-over 289 on Friday, which was the team’s lowest of the tournament.

The Seminoles will host the NCAA Regional Championship at Seminole Legacy, May 11-13.
