Florida Gators

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Behind her first collegiate victory, Florida women's golfer Maisie Filler earned the SEC Golfer of the Week on Wednesday, the conference office announced.

The award is the first SEC weekly conference award as she was named to the All-SEC Second Team (2022) and All-Freshman Team (2021).

After falling in a playoff for medalist honors last season, Filler captured her first collegiate win at the Tar Heel Invitational. She shot a 54-hole score of 13-under 203, which tied the second-lowest individual tournament score in program history for the second time in her career - one stroke away from the record of LPGA Tour Player Sam Wagner set in 2016. 

In round three, Filler recorded her second round in the 60s (69, -3) for all three under par this week. Across her 54 holes, she made 33 pars, 16 birdies and one eagle. In the opening round the Palm Beach Gardens native recorded the second-lowest round in UF history with a bogey-free 64 (-8), two strokes away from the program low of 62 set by Sierra Brooks. Filler has finished 1st and T2 in the last two tournaments. 

As a team, the Gators shot a 54-hole score of 848 (-16) to mark back-to-back team titles and won the tournament by eight strokes. UF was one of two teams (Auburn, -8) to shoot under par at Governors Club. It also marked the 30th victory under head coach Emily Glaser and the 7th lowest team tournament total - the Gators recorded the program best (835) under Glasser in the 2022 team victory at the FAU Paradise Invitational. Florida has won a tournament every season with Glasser at the helm and seven seasons of multiple wins. 

Florida concludes the fall campaign at The Ally from Oct. 23-25 at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss where Filler finished runner-up and turned in a 203 (-13) in 2021.
