Personal: Goal for the upcoming season is to finally get a set of clubs that fit…Spends his free time playing tennis, soccer, and ping-pong and enjoys listening to music…Favorite athlete is Roger Federer.

Why Fritsch Chose South Carolina:
‘I chose to attend the University of South Carolina because I was very impressed with the resources and support services of USC. I was very impressed with the detail of the program; especially the club fitting that is not readily available in Germany. I was also very impressed with the people and I am confident they will help me in my mission to become a world class player.’

Coach Blackmon Comments on Fritsch[apos]s Signing
‘We have been following Florian[apos]s emergence as a world class player for almost three years. Considered as one of the elite international prospects, his biggest decision was U.S. collegiate golf or the European PGA Tour. He is certainly an impact player and will play a major role in USC contending for SEC and NCAA Championships. At this point in his career he certainly ranks up their with Duval, Cink, Thompson and other outstanding professionals I have coached.’
