GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Frederik Kjettrup of Florida State and Connor Howe of Georgia Tech have been named the 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Golf Co-Scholar Athletes of the Year and head up the sport’s All-ACC Academic Team.
Kjettrup, a junior from Aabybro, Denmark, helped lead the Seminoles to the NCAA semifinals and a top-10 national ranking during the most recent season. He ranked No. 31 in the final Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors. The Sport Management major posted one of the Seminoles’ best wins of the season at the Watersound Invitational, which included eight teams in the Golfstat Top 40 among an 11-team field. His big year also included a match play win versus Florida in the NCAA semifinals.
Named the ACC Golfer of the Month for February, Kjettrup also earned his second Arnold Palmer Cup Selection and was a PING! Honorable Mention All-American in addition to earning a spot on the All-ACC team.
Howe, a staple in the Georgia Tech lineup for five years, enjoyed his best year in 2022-23, posting five top-10 finishes to come in No. 33 in the final Golfstat individual ranking and No. 38 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Index. The Ogden, Utah native tied for third place at the ACC Championship and the NCAA Salem Regional, as well as 29th at the NCAA Championship as the Yellow Jackets finished as the national runners-up, all career-best finishes for those events.
Howe was another Ping! All-America Honorable Mention selection, as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Academic requirements for selection to the team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career.
