Vanderbilt remains top team in Bushnell/Golfweek men’s college golf coaches polls for March 24

After two top-three finishes in March, including a win at the Cabo Collegiate against a field that included nine other ranked teams, Vanderbilt continues as the Bushnell/Golfweek Div. I coaches poll top-ranked team for March 24. The Commodores received 18 first-place votes and 473 points.

Vanderbilt is far from the only team to remain in the top spot. In Div. II, Anderson also remained in the top spot, receiving 12 first-place votes and 324 points.

Meanwhile, in Div. III, Emory moved up two spots to regain the top spot, passing Methodist and Christopher Newport. Lindsay Wilson passed Keiser to take No. 1 in the NAIA poll. In NJCAA, Hutchinson and Mississippi Gulf Coast are the teams leading the pack.
