TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State Men's Golf team got off to a strong start on Monday at the NCAA Stanford Regional, shooting 13-under to sit in second place out of 14 teams at Stanford Golf Course.
The Seminoles recorded their second-lowest NCAA postseason round in program history, only eclipsed by their 17-under score in their opening round of the 2021 Tallahassee Regional held at Seminole Legacy Golf Club.
Senior Gray Albright's opening eagle on the par-5, 521-yard first hole was a sign of good fortunes to come. Overall, FSU is in second place and four shots behind regional leader Illinois (-17). Host Stanford is in third place at 11-under, followed by Ole Miss and Texas A&M in the Top 5 at 9-under apiece.
Sophomore Luke Clanton caught fire on the back nine and is tied for second with a 5-under 65. Clanton won last year's NCAA Morgan Hill Regional and looks to add his fourth win of the season, shooting a back-nine 31 which included four birdies.
Clanton only trail's Illinois' Max Herendeen, who is in first place at 7-under.
Redshirt senior Cole Anderson was tremendous in his opening round, tying for seventh with a 4-under 66. He recorded a front-nine 31 and picked up five birdies to continue his solid play after coming off consecutive match-play wins at the ACC Championship.
Senior Frederik Kjettrup recorded just one bogey and is tied for 10th with a 3-under 67, using four birdies to his advantage. He was part of FSU's five-player lineup whom all birdied the 16th hole, a par-5, 500-yarder.
Albright shot even par, while senior Brett Roberts was a counting score with a 1-under 69 as he is tied for 23rd.
Albright will start the Seminoles off in Tuesday's second round with an 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT tee time.
