PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - The No. 24 Florida State men's golf team defeated No. 21 Georgia Tech in the quarterfinal, 3-2, of the 2026 ACC Championship on Sunday at the Shark's Tooth Golf Course at the Watersound Club.
All five matches in the quarterfinal stayed tight between the fourth-seeded Yellow Jackets and fifth-seeded Seminoles.
Jack Whaley regained his lead on the eighth hole after an eagle and stretched the lead to 3 up after the 13th. After giving a point back, Whaley put the match away after winning the 17th hole after an eagle, defeating Albert Hansson 3&1 in the first match.
The second match of the quarterfinal went the distance between Wilmer Edero and Kale Fontenot. After the match was tied for four holes following the 12th hole, Edero fell behind by one on the 17th. Despite a par on the 18th by Edero, Georgia Tech took the point. The Yellow Jackets added another after a 2&1 win in the third match.
Needing a spark, Florida State turned to redshirt senior Patrick McCann in the fourth match. McCann fell behind by one for four holes after the ninth but tied the match after a par on 13. The next holes went back-and-forth, but McCann carded a birdie on the 16th to go 1 up. McCann put the pressure on Benjamin Reuter on the 17th and came away with another birdie to win the match 2&1.
In the fifth and final match, Tyler Weaver took back his lead on the eighth hole after a birdie and stretched his advantage to 2up on the 11th. Weaver was solid through his final 10 holes, carding eight pars and two birdies to keep the lead. Weaver defeated Aidan Tran 2&1 to send the Noles to the semifinal for the second straight season.
The Seminoles will move on to face top-seeded Stanford at 2:30 p.m. Live scoring can be found on Clippd and the match will air on ACC Network Extra.
