Nakatani Lands Top 10 Finish at ACC Championship
WILMINGTON, NC – The No. 16 Florida State ladies’s golf workforce completed 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 closing spherical of 4-under, 68. She carded 4 birdies on her first 9 holes, together with three-in-a-row. Nakatani added three extra on the again 9 and climbed the leaderboard to tie for sixth place, ending 6-under, 210. Over three rounds, Nakatani led the sphere in birdies, sinking 18, which had been three greater than the following participant.
It was the very best end for a freshman at the ACC Championship since Frida Kinhult tied for fifth place at the 2019 match.
“Haruhi played great,” FSU head coach Amy Bond he stated. “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 spherical of 1-under, 71 on Friday, carding three birdies. Fullbrook completed the match at 2-over, 218 shifting as much as tie for thirty fifth.
