Anderson, a Camden, Maine, native, is playing the best golf of his Seminole career. In his four tournaments this fall, he led FSU with a 69.08 scoring average as well as a -1.92 average vs. par. His 10 rounds at par or better led the Seminoles, and three of his four finishes came in the Top 10.
He is coming off a strong match-play performance in the Jackson Stephens Cup championship where he defeated North Carolina’s Peter Fountain, 1UP.
Anderson is looking to become the second Seminole to win the Haskins Award by the end of the spring golf season. In 2021, John Pak won the honor and swept the three main national honors in the Haskins, Hogan and Nicklaus Awards.
Eight of Anderson’s 12 rounds played in the fall season were under par, including a career-low 6-under 64 in the second round of the Maui Jim Intercollegiate on Sept. 10. He finished runner up at the Maui Jim Intercollegiate, his best finish as a Seminole.
Anderson and the Seminoles, which are rated 13th in the latest Golfweek rankings, will begin their spring season on Sunday, Feb. 19, at the Watersound Invitational at Shark’s Tooth Golf Course in Watersound, Fla.
