The Florida State men’s golf team is set to compete in the Hamptons Intercollegiate on October 6-7 at the prestigious Maidstone Club in East Hampton, New York. This tournament, hosted by Loyola University of Maryland, will feature a strong lineup, including FSU’s own Jack Bigham, Jack Whaley, Carson Brewer, Patrick McCann, Wilmer Edero, and Andrew McLauchlan.
Recently, the Seminoles finished tied for sixth at the Olympia Fields Invitational. Brewer and Whaley shone as they both secured top 10 finishes. In a tough competition with 14 of the 15 participating teams ranked or receiving votes, Florida State outperformed several of them, including No. 2 Arizona State and No. 11 Alabama.
As the team prepares, it’s worth noting that Tyler Weaver, the world’s 12th-ranked amateur, will represent England at the World Amateur Team Championships from October 7-8 in Singapore. This highlights the level of talent present in collegiate golf today.
The field for the Hamptons Intercollegiate includes several notable teams like No. 3 Ole Miss, No. 21 Georgia, and No. 25 Wake Forest, among others. This tournament promises to deliver high-stakes action, with many powerhouse schools competing.
