CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The No. 25 Florida State men's golf team sits tied for third place after two rounds of play at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial at the Birdwood Golf Club. The Seminoles are tied with No. 14 Tennessee at 16-under, 552 heading into the final round on Tuesday.
Wilmer Edero opened the tournament shooting his career-low of 63, tying the tournament record that was set in 2024 by Bryce Lewis from Tennessee. His 63 also ties the second-lowest score in program history, joining Jack Maguire, John Pak, Frederik Kjettrup, Jonathan Morrow, Matt Savage, and Brooks Koepka to shoot 63 or lower in a single round.
Starting off the 10th hole, Edero carded four birdies before the turn, and added five more on the final nine holes to claim the 1-stroke lead at 8-under. Edero finished the second round of 1-under, 70 and is tied for second place at 9-under, 133, one stroke off the leader.
Jack Whaley also started off his day strong, shooting 65 which was his season low. Whaley put together a bogey-free round, carding six birdies including three in a row to start the day. In the second round, Whaley shot 2-over, 73 and is tied for ninth place at 4-under, 138.
Jack Bigham shot a 2-under, 69 in the opening round, carding five birdies including three in-a-row on the second, third and fourth holes. Bigham finished the day even, 142, and is tied for 26th.
Patrick McCann finished the first round even, 71, carding two birdies. In the second round, McCann saw an eagle on the par-five 549-yard 12th hole and finished the round 1-over, 72. McCann sits 33rd at 1-over, 143.
Tyler Weaver had a slow start in the first round, finishing 3-over, 73, but bounced back and carded a round of 2-under, 69 in the second. He sits even, 142.
The Seminoles turned in the lowest opening round at 16-under, 268 to start the tournament and were even, 284 in the second. FSU will be paired with No. 2 Virginia and SMU in the final round.
