The Florida State men’s golf team, seeded fifth overall, put together its best round of the weekend as it shot 2-under and vaulted up to fourth place following the third round on Sunday at the NCAA Championships held at Omni La Costa North Course in Carlsbad, Calif.

FSU is 10-over for the NCAA Championships. In front of FSU on the leaderboard are Illinois (-2), Virginia (+4) and Vanderbilt (+9).

The Seminoles move past the Top 15 cutline and now aim to make the Top 8 following Monday’s final stroke-play round. The Top 8 teams of the 15 remaining teams following Monday’s round will advance to the match-play quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Golf Channel coverage starts on Monday with Golf Today from 4-6 p.m. ET, followed by live coverage from 6-10 p.m. ET.

Sophomore Luke Clanton fired a 2-under 70 on Sunday, igniting a Seminoles squad that started the day tied for sixth on the leaderboard. The Hialeah, Fla., native recorded three of his four birdies on the front nine and had just two bogeys on the day. He capped his round with a late birdie on the par-4, 491-yard 17th hole. Clanton is tied for seventh overall at 1-under.

Senior Frederik Kjettrup has shook off his tough start in the opening round by shooting another under-par round, carding a 1-under 71. He recorded four front-nine birdies on holes 1, 2, 5 and 6.

Senior Brett Roberts also had a key round with an even par 72. After recording a 37 on the front nine, he finished strong on the back end with a 35 and three birdies in his final nine holes.

Graduate Cole Anderson added a 1-over 73 for FSU’s final counting score, while senior Gray Albright shot 7-over.

Albright begins the fourth round for the Seminoles on Monday at 2:40 p.m. ET/11:40 p.m. PT.
