AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas Men's Golf team has climbed to the No. 2 spot in both of the major national rankings after the release of the Bushnell/Golfweek Division I Coaches poll on Friday. The Longhorns previously moved up to No. 2 in the latest Scoreboard powered by Clippd poll on Wednesday.
Texas has claimed two team titles and six top-three finishes in its first seven stroke-play events of the 2024-25 season. In addition, the Longhorns placed second at the four-team NB3 MatchPlay in October. UT has earned team championships at the Southwestern Invitational (Jan. 27-29) and The Hayt (Mar. 8-10), finished runner-up at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational (Sept. 30-Oct. 1) and Pauma Valley Invitational (Mar. 17-18) and placed third at the Folds of Honor Collegiate (Sept. 9-11) and Amer Ari Invitational (Feb. 6-8).
In each of UT's last three tournament appearances, a different Longhorn has earned medalist honors. Junior Tommy Morrison claimed his first collegiate individual title in a playoff at the Amer Ari Invitational (Feb. 6-8), while junior Luke Potter won his first collegiate individual championship at The Hayt (Mar. 8-10). Junior Christiaan Maas made it three-in-a-row for the Longhorns with his second career individual title at the Pauma Valley Invitational (Mar. 17-18).
The Longhorns are back on the course at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational on Mar. 24-25 (Monday-Tuesday) at the Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Fla.
