LAST TIME OUT
Last week, Florida finished runner-up at the SEC Championship, led by a lineup of all underclassmen (three sophomores & two freshmen). The Gators reached the match play finals for the second time in program history since the format was added in 2018 after defeating the No. 2 seed LSU Tigers 5-0 and the No. 6 seed and No. 2 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks 3-2. UF was edged in the finals 3.5-1.5 to the No. 1 seed and veteran (two seniors & graduate student) South Carolina Gamecocks.
All five in the lineup had key moments in the conference tournament as Addison Klonowski highlighted her first appearance with two match-clinching point victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals while firing a final stroke play round of 3-under 67 to help UF advance to match play. Paula Francisco placed T11 in stroke play and went 2-0-1 in match play with two big putts on the 18th, one to clinch a point in the semifinals and another to keep Florida's SEC title hopes alive in the finals.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
The Gators have qualified for 31 of the 32 all-time women's golf regionals as they were introduced in 1993. Florida has made every regional since 2000 and each year under head coach Emily Glaser. The program has won three regional titles, the first in 2008 and back-to-back in 2016 and 2017. Kelly Grassel claimed the program's first individual regional title in 2017 at the Columbus Regional.
Florida looks to clinch a spot into the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2019.
STRONG REGULAR SEASON
Behind an underclassmen lineup, Florida captured five team titles this regular season along with freshman Jessica Guiser winning the Gators Invitational becoming the second UF freshman to earn medalist honors at the home event.
Redshirt-freshman Addison Klonowski was a consistent presence in her first collegiate season, leading in stroke average at 72.2 and finishing top-25 in all eight regular season events and 10 rounds under par.
The sophomore duo of Archer and Francisco also had strong regular seasons, combining for 6 top-10s and 11 top-25s. Francisco had a stroke average of 72.4 and Archer 72.7.
Freshman Elaine Widjaja played in seven events with four top-10s, tied for team-best with six top–25s and stroke average of 73.0
FALL RECAP
Florida closed out the first leg of the season with back-to-back victories, including defending its team title at The Ally. The Gators shot a final round of 6-under to end 15-under for a six shot victory over host Mississippi State. The victory is also the 33rd all-time under head coach Emily Glaser; 34th total as she was an assistant coach for a season in 2011-12.
Redshirt-freshman Addison Klonowski led UF with a stroke average of 71.0 and finished T18 or better in all three stroke play events. She also had a team-high six rounds and two tournaments under par.
Seven Gators had a T20 finish or better in the fall season with freshman Elaine Widjaja and Klonowski finishing top-25 in all three three stroke play tournaments.
BIG 3, YEAR 2
The true freshmen trio of Inès Archer, Paula Fransico and Sophie Stevens all put together strong seasons to begin their collegiate careers.
All earned SEC Freshman Golfer of the Week honors as Archer earned a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team. Florida's freshman trio totaled 23 (out of 55) appearances in the lineup, including both postseason events (SEC Championship & NCAA Regionals) where the group combined for 15 rounds played with Archer posting a team-best finish of T20 at SECs. They also totaled seven top-10s and 13 top-25s finishes.
NEW FACES IN THE ORANGE & BLUE
The Gators welcomed four five new Gators in Jessica Guiser (Hartland, Wis.), Elaine Widjaja (Semarang, Indonesia), Isa Wu (Hong Kong) and Siuue Wu (Hong Kong) along with assistant coach Ashley Sease.
A SEASON AGO
The 2023-24 season, the Gators highlighted the beginning of the season with three consecutive tournament victories to end the fall season. Florida started the stretch off with a six-shot win at the Glass City Invitational, eight-shot victory in the Tar Heel Invitational and capped off by an 11-shot win in the fall finale, The Ally.
The three wins brought it to 31 tournament wins all-time under head coach Emily Glaser; 32nd total as she was an assistant coach for a season in 2011-12. Florida last won three events in a season in 2015-16 and is the fifth occurrence under Glaser. It marks the most team titles since the 2019-20 season when the Gators last won by double-digits at the Allstate Sugar Bowl by 13.
As a team, the Gators placed top-7 in all nine regular-season tournaments with three wins, seven top-5 and six top-3 finishes. UF also ended with a 2-1 match play record with ranked victories over No. 20 Pepperdine (4-1) and No. 4 UCLA (3-2) at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge.
