April 14, 2024 | Women's Golf
BELLEAIR, Fla. – Julia Lopez Ramirez captured her second consecutive SEC Individual Championship on Sunday behind an impressive 10-under par performance.
With her second-straight SEC Championship, Lopez Ramirez becomes the fourth golfer in SEC history to win back-to-back championships, and the first since Arkansas' Maria Fassi did it in 2018 and 2019. She is also the only golfer in program history with multiple SEC titles.
Lopez Ramirez excelled in the three-day tournament, dominating from start to finish. The junior, ranked as the No. 4 amateur in the world according to the World Golf Amateur Rankings, never finished a round lower than second and earned her best three-round score of the season (-10, 203). During stroke play of the SEC Championship, she carded three straight rounds in the 60's, highlighted by her third-round score of 5-under par 65, her best round of the championship.
After ending day one in a tie for second with her opening round score of 3-under par, she took sole possession of first place on day two after increasing her lead to 5-under par. She then secured the win by firing off the field's best score of 5-under par in the final round.
Throughout the three rounds of stroke play, Lopez Ramirez made 12 birdies, the second-most of any golfer, including seven on Sunday. She led the field on all par 4s with a combined score of 7-under. She also tied for the fourth-most pars with 37.
The Bulldogs finished fourth as a team with a three-round total of 8-over par. With their fourth-place finish, State advances to the match play portion of the tournament to determine the team champion.
Izzy Pellot posted the second-best Bulldog score of the third round, as she finished even-par. Avery Weed carded the lone Bulldog eagle on the day, as she finished 1-over par.
