Golf moves up in preseason ranking

Following an impressive second-place showing at the season-opening Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate at the Ridges, the Horned Frogs men’s golf team made the biggest jump in the Precept Coaches Poll, moving from 14th in the preseason ratings to seventh in the Sept. 24 poll.

The only team who topped the Frogs at the Ridges was Florida, who received 12 of 28 first-place votes this week to move into the top spot in the coaches poll. The shift ended Clemson’s streak of eight consecutive rankings at No. 1. The Gators accumulated 667 points to the Tigers’ 646. Clemson tallied 11 first-place votes.

The five remaining first-place votes went to third-ranked UCLA and No. 4 Oklahoma State - who received two each - and fifth-ranked Arizona State. Texas fell from fifth to sixth while TCU scooted into seventh. Georgia moved up two spots to eighth. Wake Forest and UNLV dropped from sixth and seventh, respectively, into a tie for ninth.
