Florida Gulf Coast is well on its way this spring after winning back-to-back events to start the second half of the season. Led by Frankie Capan, who finished 54 holes with a sub-200 score for the first time in program history, FGCU won the Auburn Invitational on March 7. That followed a victory at the Eagles’ own Coral Creek Club Invitational to start the month.
At Auburn, FGCU was 32 under for three rounds, which left them 13 shots ahead of host Auburn. Capan’s rounds of 69-64-64 (19 under) helped considerably but Austin Cherichella also added a 9-under total to finish third and Brady Madsen tied for seventh at 2 under.
The Eagles haven’t won multiple titles in the same season since 2017-18.
“I’m really proud of our team. They played great golf again today and were able to finish the tournament on top of the leaderboard,” head coach Andrew Danna said in a school release. “We’ll look to learn as much as we can from our experience this week and will apply that to our next event.”
Florirda Gulf Coast is the No. 42-ranked team in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, and is aiming for an NCAA Regional berth after narrowly missing out on an at-large spot a year ago.
