FSU men's golf finishes in top six during second round of NCAA Championship on Saturday

No. 5 national seed Florida State Men's Golf shot 10 strokes lower in Saturday's second round of the NCAA Championships, carding a 1-over score as it sits tied for sixth overall at 12-over through the first two rounds.

Florida State moved up 11 spots on the leaderboard, elevating from its previous position in a tie for 17th entering the day. FSU's score of 1-over on the day marked the fourth-lowest team round of the 30 participating schools. FSU joined Tennessee as the two schools to move up by double digits on Saturday.

Two Seminoles recorded under-par scores on Saturday, as seniors Gray Albright (-1) and Frederik Kjettrup (-1) came up big with formidable rounds. Albright had three birdies and a double bogey, while Kjettrup added five birdies. Kjettrup's 71 marks his lowest round at an NCAA Championship since his freshman appearance in 2021.

Graduate Cole Anderson also had a good showing with a 1-over score. The Camden, Maine, native totaled three birdies in the round.

Sophomore Luke Clanton continues leading the Seminoles after being tied for 15th at 1-over (71-74). Senior Brett Roberts also shot a 3-over 74 in the second round and is tied for 40th at 5-over (75-74).
