Sunset, S.C. – The No. 8 Florida women's golf team is in good position to win its fourth straight tournament title, entering Sunday's third and final round of the Clemson Invitational, in Sunset, S.C. The Gators' squad carded a +2 (290) in the second round to stretch its lead to three strokes over No. 33 Furman and the 14-team field.
