Notes
• The Texas men's golf team begins it spring slate in pursuit of the program's 48th conference championship, and first since 2017.
• Texas' 2021 lineup features three former All-Americans in Parker Coody, Pierceson Coody and Cole Hammer. The Coody twins each earned honorable mention in 2019 and first-team recognition last season, while Hammer was a 2019 first-team honoree.
• For the second-straight year, Pierceson Coody, Cole Hammer and Travis Vick were all featured on preseason watch list for the Fred Haskins Award, collegiate golf's highest individual honor.
• Parker Coody and Vick both made the cut on the final Fred Haskins Award watch list following the Longhorns' 2020 fall slate.
• The Haskins Award, celebrating its 50th year, has been won previously by five Longhorns on seven occasions. That list of UT greats is made up by three-time winner Ben Crenshaw (1971-73), Bob Estes (1987), Justin Leonard (1994), Brad Elder (1997) and Beau Hossler (2016).
• The Longhorns finished third at the East Lake Cup back in October, falling to Oklahoma, 3-2-0, in the semifinals before sweeping Texas Tech, 5-0-0, in the consolation match.
• Texas' 2021 slate was originally scheduled to open at the All-American Intercollegiate on Feb. 14-16, but the tournament was postponed due to severe winter weather across the state of Texas.
• Hunter Ostrom neared earned his first medalist honor as a Longhorn at the Border Olympics on Feb. 23. The grad transfer finished the 54-hole event at 4-under par, but was bested by Texas A&M's Dan Erickson on the second playoff hole. Christoffer Bring (-3; 3rd) and Mason Nome (-1, T5th) each also recorded a top-five finish individually as the Horns finished in second as a team.
