September 9, 2024

By Chuck Walsh

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. - Senior Michael Mays is in a tie for 10th place in the individual standings, and the Florida State Men's Golf Team is in a tie for seventh place in the team standings after the first round of the Folds of Honor Collegiate at the American Dunes Golf Club. Mays team-leading score of 71 marked the third time in his last four collegiate rounds that he has scored at or under par with a 71.

Alabama blitzed the field of 15 with a 9 under par score of 273 as the Crimson Tide finished the first round as the only team under par. The Crimson Tide leads second place Illinois by 11 strokes, with third place and defending tournament champion Notre Dame by 12 strokes. Alabama's Jack Mitchell is the overall leader with a 7 under par score of 64. Mitchell leads Michigan State's Ashton McCullouch by three strokes in the race for the individual championship.

Mays scored four birdies including two on his last six holes of the round. He was 1 under par on those final six holes which allowed him to finish at ever par for the first of the three scheduled days of the championship. Mays was one of 14 players in the field of 75 golfers who played even par or better golf in his first round of the fall season. Following a bogey on his first hole of the round, Mays was under par over his final 17 holes.

"My ball striking was pretty solid today," said Mays following the round. "I was very focused during the round which helped with my course management."

Weaver, the 2024 AC Rookie of the Year, is in a tie for 15th place following the first round. The second-year Seminole birdied three of his final seven holes of the round to finish at 1 over par for the round. He was tied for the team lead with four birdies as the Seminoles totaled 14 birdies during the first round.

Weaver is looking to earn his fourth career top-15 individual finish. He finished in a career-best second place in the 2024 Seminole Intercollegiate and in seventh place at the 2023 Fighting Illini Invitational.

Clanton Leads Seminoles Through First Round Of Fighting Illini Invitational.

September 20, 2024

By Chuck Walsh

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. - Junior All-American Luke Clanton shot a 2 under par 68 and is in a tie for third place in the individual standings, and the No. 2 ranked Seminoles are in a tie for fifth place in the team standings after the first round of the Fighting Illini Invitational at the Olympia Fields Country Club. Clanton, the Haskins Award nominee and No. 1 ranked amateur in the world, is playing in his first collegiate event of the season after an incredible summer during which he became the first player since Jack Nicklaus in 1961 to record three top-10 finishes in the same season as an amateur on the PGA Tour.

Arizona State, with three players in the top-12 of the individual standings, is the team leader after the first 18 holes of the event. The Sun Devils hold a five-stroke lead over a group of four teams (Georgia Tech, Florida, Illinois, and North Carolina) and a six stroke lead over the Seminoles. Benjamin Reuter of Georgia Tech and Jose Luis Ballester of Arizona State share the individual lead as both golfers carded 6 under par scores of 64 on the par 70 course at Olympia Fields.

"We came out ready to compete today and had very good energy," said Seminole Head Coach Trey Jones. "I feel like each player is in a very good spot and needs to stay aggressive. It's easy to let a tough course take some of your aggressiveness away, but we have a committed to aggressive swings. The aggressiveness comes with confidence, and I see that continuing to grow on this team."

Clanton led the Seminoles through the first round with a 68 - the 10th time in his career that he carded first round score in the 60s. He has carded a first round score in the 60s in five of his last six collegiate events including a 65 in the first round of the NCAA Stanford Regional during the spring of 2024.

Clanton played well throughout the round and was three under par with three birdies and 13 more holes played at par on his first 16 holes. He began the round with five consecutive holes scored at par and was never above par at any time during the round. He then totaled three birdies on his next 10 holes to move to three under par.

Clanton, who begins his second round within four strokes of the lead, has finished in the top five of the individual standings of six consecutive collegiate events - the Seminole Intercollegiate (1st) the Valspar Collegiate Invitational (1st), the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial (1st), the ACC Championship (5th), the NCAA Stanford Regional (tied for 5th) and the NCAA Championship (tied for 2nd).

Redshirt freshman Carson Brewer, who was the Seminoles' leading golfer in the season-opening Folds of Honor Collegiate, carded a 1 under par score of 69 and in a tie for 11th place in the individual standings. He began the first round with consecutive birdies to quickly move to two under par. Brewer totaled 17 holes scored at par or better with two birdies during the round. He closed the round with a clean card of rounds scored of par over this final 10 holes of the round.

Brewer has scored three consecutive rounds at under par (70 in the second and third rounds of the Folds of Honor and a 69 in the first round of the Fighting Illini) and is just four strokes over par for the first four rounds of his Florida State career.

Senior Michael Mays was the third of the Seminoles to card a score of par or better as he finished the first round with an even par score of 70. He led Florida State with five birdies in his first round, as he too, was never above par during the round. Mays was even par on his front nine with two bridies, and even par on his back with three birdies. He is in a tie for 22nd place in the individual standings.

Mays has now carded rounds of par or better in the three of his first four rounds of the fall season.

Graduate student Gray Albright and junior Jack Bigham both finished with scores of 73 - allowing all five Seminoles to finish with scores of 73 or better.

No. 12 Noles Battle No. 2 Auburn, Fall at East Lake.

ATLANTA, Ga. - The No. 12 Florida State men's golf team fell to No. 2 Auburn in a close 3-1 battle in the semifinals of the East Lake Cup on Tuesday at the East Lake Club.

"That was a great match between two very good golf teams," FSU head coach Trey Jones said. "We gained some valuable experience for our players that will help us when it counts late in the season."

A rematch of the 2024 NCAA National Championship, the Seminoles and Tigers battled to the wire. The Tigers put the first two points on the board after Patrick McCann fell in his match 5&4 and Jack Bigham dropped his 3&1.

The third match pitted the top two amateurs in the world against each other. The No. 1 player, Luke Clanton carded an eagle on the first hole to take the early lead. Up one, the two birdied holes six and seven before Clanton went up two behind his third birdie in a row.

The back-and-forth contest continued on the back nine, but Clanton put No. 2 Jackson Kouvin away after sinking a putt for birdie on the 16th hole. Clanton put the Seminoles on the board, trailing 2-1 behind a 3&2 victory.

"I think this one was definitely the biggest match I've had yet," Clanton said. "Me and Jackson have had one heck of a year and a half I guess you could say. It's been awesome competing against him, and to finally play against him in match play was awesome. I think match play goes either way, especially as the top two players in the world. It was awesome, but it meant a lot."

Carson Brewer put the pressure on, pulling within one on the 16th hole after making par after his opponent bogied. However, the Tigers put away the match after Brewer was just shy of a birdie putt on 17.

Tyler Weaver was up one with two to play when the match was called.
