Florida State men’s golf fell just shy of winning its first national championship, but managed to complete the greatest season in program history.
After a rough start to stroke play, FSU wound up finishing fifth as a team to advance to the quarterfinals. Luke Clanton finished second overall at 2-under par, narrowly missing the individual national title.
In the quarterfinals, FSU finished strong for a 3-1 win over North Carolina. Tyler Weaver clinched the victory for FSU with a 3&2 win over North Carolina’s David Ford. Clanton and Brett Roberts also won their matchups.
In the semifinals against Georgia Tech, FSU had to win the final two matchups to take a 3-2 victory. After Weaver took the 19th hole to defeat Georgia Tech’s Kale Fontenot, Frederik Kjkettrup sealed the deal with a 3&1 win over Hiroshi Tai.
FSU would ultimately fall to Auburn for the national championship, 3-2. Weaver and Cole Anderson each won their matchups, but Auburn’s J.M Butler defeated Clanton 2&1 to clinch the victory.
With its first appearance in the national championship match, FSU men’s golf became the third group of Seminoles to play for a national title this athletics year. FSU soccer claimed the national championship in the fall. Although FSU men’s tennis fell in the Sweet 16, the duo of Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif reached the final in doubles last week before falling to Ohio State’s Robert Cash and JJ Tracy in a third-set tiebreaker.
