The No. 7 Florida women's golf team dominated the Gators Invitational this weekend, setting new program records in team tournament score (820, -10) and team low round (271, -9). Junior Paula Francisco won her first collegiate individual title with a record-breaking 200 (-10) 54-hole score, including a second-round 65 (-5) that tied the second-lowest round in program history.

Why it matters

Florida's dominant performance at the home tournament showcases the strength of the program under head coach Emily Glaser, who has led the Gators to 40 tournament titles. The individual win for Paula Francisco is a career breakthrough, and the team's record-setting scores demonstrate their potential heading into the postseason.

The details

In the opening round, the Gators reset the tournament low round record by score with a 271 (-9), three shots better than the previous mark. Francisco broke a 10-year program record with her 200 (-10) 54-hole score, and she tied the second-lowest round in program history with a 65 (-5) in the second round. All five Florida players finished in the top-12, led by Francisco's individual title and a career-best T2 finish from Siuue Wu.
