CHARLOTTE, N.C. – No. 2 seed Florida State Men's Golf reached the ACC Match Play Finals on Monday after defeating Georgia Tech, 3-0, but ultimately fell in the championship match against top-seeded North Carolina, 3-1.
Redshirt senior Cole Anderson delivered two match-play wins on Monday, taking down Georgia Tech's Kale Fontenot 3&2 in the match play semifinals and then defeating North Carolina's Dylan Menante 5&3 in the finals. The Camden, Maine, native looked assertive all day and withstood all the pressures that come with match play golf.
Freshman Tyler Weaver clinched FSU's victory over the Yellow Jackets 3&2, tying with opponent Hiroshi Tai on the seventh hole to put the match out of reach up three holes with only two to play.
Senior Frederik Kjettrup, who was a co-champion of the ACC Championship in stroke play, got his match play off to a strong start after defeating Georgia Tech's Bartley Forrester, 3&2. North Carolina's Peter Fountain ended the match before Kjettrup mounted his comeback separately against the Tar Heels, being two holes down through 14 before tying the match on the 16th hole after a string of birdies.
Senior Gray Albright's match went unfinished against Georgia Tech, but he held a 2UP lead with three holes remaining when Weaver clinched the semifinals.
The finals was billed as a pair of golf heavyweights, the top two seeds from the league in a match that virtually went down to the very end. Despite being down 4-1 later in the match, both Kjettrup and Brett Roberts stayed resilient despite the loss – nearly helping the Seminoles pull off the comeback.
The NCAA Men's Golf Selection Show will air on Wednesday, May 1, from 2-3 p.m. on the GOLF Channel. FSU looks to go even further than its Match Play Semifinals run last year where it tied for third nationally.
