John Pak knew he wanted to pay his college golf in the state of Florida.
Which explains why the 17-year-old from Scotch Plains, N.J., narrowed his choices down to Florida State, Central Florida and South Florida. In the end, Pak verbally committed to head coach Trey Jones and the Seminoles for the Class of 2017.
"I chose Florida State because I really liked the coach, the facilities, and the fact that it is in Florida," Pak told Golfweek.
Pak visited the aforementioned schools along with Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Clemson and Oklahoma State. He is ranked ninth overall by Golfweek and seventh in his class.
