From Monday. FSU sports information:
For the third time in the last four years, No. 5 national seed Florida State Men’s Golf has clinched a Top 8 spot into the NCAA Championships Match Play Quarterfinals. The Seminoles finished fifth in stroke play on Monday, shooting 12-over for their four rounds (299-289-286-290) at Omni La Costa North Course in Carlsbad, Calif.
The Seminoles will take on North Carolina in Tuesday’s NCAA Match Play Quarterfinals, a rematch of last month’s ACC title match. Pairings have not been announced yet. The match will begin at 9:50 a.m. ET.
Sophomore Luke Clanton battled for the individual title, tying for second at 2-under (71-74-70-71) after shooting 1-under on Monday. Clanton put pressure on tournament winner Hiroshi Tai of Georgia Tech, trailing by just one stroke after making a birdie on the 13th hole. Clanton played a strong final round with four birdies to three bogeys.
Clanton’s 15 total birdies over his four rounds played tied for the fourth-most in the entire field. His second-place finish ties for the highest by a Seminole at the NCAA Championship alongside Daniel Berger in 2013.
Graduate Cole Anderson tied for 31st at 6-over (75-73-73-73), once again recording a counting score in his final round where he shot 1-over. Anderson delivered a four-round stroke-play performance that gave the Seminoles a boost, adding 15 pars on Monday.
Senior Brett Roberts tied for 46th at 9-over (75-74-72-76), adding two birdies in his final round. The Coral Springs, Fla., native completed his fourth consecutive NCAA Championships appearance along with Anderson and Frederik Kjettrup.
Kjettrup’s big comeback in the tournament also benefited the Seminoles, tying for 49th at 10-over (84-71-71-72) and shooting an even-par round on Monday. He earns a conditional membership for the remainder of the season to the Korn Ferry Tour as a result of a Top-10 ranking on the PGA Tour University list. He also would earn membership to the PGA TOUR Americas.
Senior Gray Albright tied for 67th at 14-over (78-71-79-74).
