The No. 10 Florida State men’s golf team fell to No. 8 North Carolina 3-1 in the semifinal of the 2025 ACC Championship at the Olde Stone Club on Sunday.

The third point was decided in a playoff after Jack Bigham and Luke Clanton finished their matches tied after 18 holes. Clanton won three straight holes to force a playoff, but Bigham conceded the 19th hole.

Playing for the first time in the tournament, Patrick McCann picked up his second win on the day after winning his match 4&2. McCann took the lead at the fourth hole and carried it through the match to even the score 1-1.

Gray Albright battled the top-ranked collegiate player in the nation, but fell 2&1.

The Seminoles started the day defeating sixth-seeded California 3-1 in the quarterfinal.

McCann faced an early 1-0 deficit, but tied the match on 13 before pulling ahead on the next hole. McCann built the lead to three and gave the Seminoles the first point of the day behind a 2&1 victory.

Tyler Weaver quickly added another point after leading from start to finish, 4&3.

Clanton sealed the win after a 2-up victory, also leading from start to finish. Bigham was tied whenever the match was called.

Florida State will host the 2025 NCAA Tallahassee Regional from May 12-14 at Seminole Legacy.
