Florida State Men’s Golf duplicated its tremendous performance from Monday’s opening round, once against recording a 13-under in the second round on Tuesday at the NCAA Stanford Regional at Stanford Golf Course. The Seminoles are now 26-under (267-267) and sit in second place just one stroke off Illinois’ lead (27-under).

Sophomore Luke Clanton is hunting down his second straight NCAA Regional title, being tied for the lead at 9-under (65-66) alongside Texas A&M’s Phichaksn Maichon. Clanton hopes to be the third consecutive Seminole to win an NCAA Regional after teammate Brett Roberts did it two years ago at the NCAA Palm Beach Regional.

As a team, Florida State would need to shoot a round of 9-under on Wednesday in order to break the lowest NCAA postseason three-round score vs. par in program history. That score was 34-under by the 2021 team at the Tallahassee Regional held at Seminole Legacy Golf Club.

Clanton’s round included four birdies and 14 pars recorded on Tuesday. He tees off at 11:44 a.m. ET/8:44 a.m. PT in Wednesday’s final round.

FSU is well within its Top 5 mark needed to advance to what would be its fourth consecutive NCAA Championship. In third place is Texas A&M (21-under), with Ole Miss (13-under) and SMU (10-under) in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

Two other Seminoles are in the Top 6 of the leaderboard in senior Frederik Kjettrup (T4) and redshirt senior Cole Anderson (sixth). Kjettrup had FSU’s low round of the day with a 65, carving up Stanford Golf Course with seven birdies while a double bogey at the par-4, 440-yard 10th hole was his only blemish. Kjettrup is just one stroke off the lead at 8-under (67-65).

Anderson (7-under) remains two shots off the lead after finishing with a 67 in his second round. The Camden, Maine, native delivered six birdies and continues to peak at the most crucial time of the year.

Gray Albright (1-under) is tied for 25th after shooting a 69, while Brett Roberts is tied for 40th at 2-over.

Roberts tees off first for the Seminoles on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT.
