TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Three members of the Florida State Men's Golf team enter the 2023-24 season ranked in the Top 25 of the first PGA TOUR University rankings in redshirt senior Cole Anderson (11th), senior Brett Roberts (16th) and senior Frederik Kjettrup (12th).
The three Seminoles comprise a very talented returning unit that has national championship aspirations after reaching the NCAA Match Play Semifinals in 2023.
Anderson enjoyed his best season yet in 2022-23, earning Golfweek Second-Team All-America honors and PING Third-Team honors. He carded an average score of 70.62 and finished with 27 rounds at par or less. The Camden, Maine, native ranked 18th overall in the final Golfstat player rankings in 2023.
Roberts was a second-team All-American by both Golfweek and PING last year. The Coral Springs, Fla., native led FSU with a 70.59 scoring average and a -0.62 score vs. par. Roberts delivered one of FSU's most crucial wins of the season when he topped Illinois' Piercen Hunt 3&2 to help clinch a trip to the NCAA Match Play Semifinals at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Kjettrup was selected as the ACC Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year for Men's Golf. He was an honorable mention All-American by Golfweek and PING last year, shooting a 70.94 scoring average and -0.21 vs. par. The Aabybro, Denmark, native delivered an impressive win against a top-notch field at the Watersound Invitational at Shark's Tooth Golf Club in Watersound, Fla.
In partnership with the World Amateur Golf Ranking® (WAGR®), PGA TOUR University ranks players based on the last two years of their collegiate careers. Eligible Tournaments include NCAA Division-I men's team competitions, official PGA TOUR tournaments and select DP World Tour events. The Ranking Period for the Class of 2024 began Week 23/2022 and concludes May 27, 2024, following the final round of stroke play at the NCAA D-I Men's National Championship.
Stanford, Florida State and Vanderbilt each have three players in the top 25, while North Carolina has two. In all, the pre-season top 25 includes players representing nine different countries: Australia, China, Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Norway, South Africa and United States.
In its first year, Seminole legend John Pak emerged as the top-ranked golfer in the inaugural class in 2021.
