Following its second team title of the spring and third overall dating back to the East Lake Cup in late October, the Vanderbilt Commodores solidified its position as the top-ranked men's team in the nation in the latest Bushnell/Golfweek Division I Coaches Poll, which was released today.
The Commodores received all 20 first-place votes and 500 points overall.
Vanderbilt opened its spring season by capturing the team title with a 16-shot victory over North Florida at the
John Hayt Invitational and followed up a nerve-wracking, one-stroke victory over Georgia Tech at the
Watersound Invitational.
Following a strong second-place showing at The Prestige, Texas Tech jumped up four spots into the No. 2 position. Pepperdine jumped up eight spots into the top-10 following
its win at The Prestige, while Baylor (No. 22) and Cincinnati (No. 25) entered the top-25.
Vanderbilt will headline a strong field at the
Cabo Collegiate which gets underway on Sunday at the Twin Dolphin Club in Los Cabos, Mexico. Joining the top-ranked Dores in Los Cabos will be No. 2 Texas Tech, No. 3 Arizona State, No. 6 Stanford, No. 10 Florida State, No. 15 Tennessee, No. 17 Alabama, No. 18 Oklahoma State and No. 22 Baylor.
