HUMBLE, Texas (Seminoles.com) – Florida State Men’s Golf picked up its second win of the spring season as it won the All-American Intercollegiate held at the Golf Club of Houston in Humble, Texas.
Holding a large 17-stroke lead heading into Tuesday’s final round, play was canceled as inclement weather forced the tournament to end after two rounds. Through that point, the Seminoles shot 7-under, with the next closest team and second-place finishers North Texas and Houston being at 10-over.

“The afternoon round yesterday was one of the best rounds I have had the opportunity to be a part of,” FSU Head Coach Trey Jones said. “Playing a PGA TOUR golf course with rain and winds gusting to 35 mph was enough to keep your attention on every shot. The guys had a great attitude in preparation and throughout the day. They did a great job of accepting the challenge and competing. I know we are headed in the right direction, gaining confidence and developing our own identity.”
Sophomore Frederik Kjettrup earns his first tournament title, sharing the All-American Intercollegiate championship with Sam Houston’s Bret Gray. Kjettrup shot 3-under (72-69) through two rounds of play.
Three Seminoles finished in the Top 5 in Kjettrup, redshirt sophomore Cole Anderson (T3, 6-under) and senior Dan Bradbury (T5, 1-under).
“If anyone has worked hard enough to get an individual win, it’s Freddy,” Jones added. “He won the team hard work award after the fall season and is playing consistently at a really high level. It’s great to see when someone does the right things and gets rewarded with a win. I have no doubt he will win more.
“I felt before the tournament that Cole was close to playing really well. Shooting 30 on nine holes I didn’t see from anyone out there. A bogey free 66 and tied for third finish may be just what he needs as we finish the season.”
Michael Sakane tied for 11th at 1-under (74-71), while Brett Roberts tied for 43rd at 7-over.
Florida State blew away the field on par 4 and par 5 holes. FSU’s par 4 scoring collectively was 8-over, nine shots better than Sam Houston (+17) and North Texas (+17). The Seminoles shot 9-under on par 5 scoring.
Jones picks up his 32nd career win as head coach at FSU. He entered the year as one of just 15 NCAA Division I men’s golf coaches to reach the career 30-win mark.
The Seminoles continue with the Valspar Collegiate Invitational on Monday, March 28, at The Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Fla.
