TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In one of the most dominant team performances in recent memory, the eighth-ranked Florida State Men’s Golf team won the Seminole Intercollegiate by 38 shots on Tuesday afternoon. The Seminoles finished 14-under on a chillier and windy day at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club.
The day was especially poetic for junior Gray Albright, who won his first collegiate tournament at 10-under overall, including an impressive 3-under 69 in his final round. Finishing up on the 17th hole due to a shot-gun start, the Ocala native sealed the deal with consecutive birdies on holes 15 and 16 before recording a par on 17.
Albright took advantage of the Seminole Legacy Golf Club’s par 5 holes, shooting 6-under overall on the longest holes of the tournament.
Prior to the start of the tournament, Albright had not recorded a round in the 60s, yet managed to shoot all three rounds under 70 this week. He finished his back nine with a 34, winning the tournament by five shots over runner-ups Frederik Kjettrup and Luke Clanton of FSU.
Incredibly, six out of the Top 10 finishers suited up for the Garnet and Gold. Besides Albright, Kjettrup and Clanton, junior Brett Roberts shot 1-under overall to place fifth. Freshman Jack Bigham tied for sixth at even par while redshirt junior Cole Anderson finished in eighth at 2-over.
North Alabama placed second at 24-over, while 24th-ranked Ole Miss came in third at 27-over.
The Seminoles’ next tournament is the Valspar Collegiate Invitational in Palm City, Fla., on March 27-28.
