Lead Story

After a second win in three tournaments, Florida State men’s golf now ranks third in the Golfweek/Sargarin rankings. The system is based on mathematical formulas set by Jeff Sargarin, which looks at schedule strength, results and tournaments played among other things.

FSU virtually led from the start in its win at the Seminole Collegiate, which wrapped up on Sunday in Tallahassee. As a team, the Seminoles finished -26 — nine strokes ahead of second-place Oklahoma State.

Florida State had five players finish in the top 16 in the tournament, led by second-place John Pak. Pak finished second overall at -10, which was one stroke behind individual winner Alexandre Fuchs of Liberty.

Up next for FSU will be a trip to San Antonio for the Cabo TPC San Antonio. That begins on Monday and wraps up one week from today.
