The University of Kentucky men?s golf team has earned a spot in the Top 10 according to Golfweek. In its most recent poll, the Wildcats are the ninth team in the nation.
Fellow Southeastern Conference schools Georgia tops the poll, while Florida and Tennessee received the No. 5 and No. 6 spots, respectively.
The Wildcats, who last five seniors from last year?s squad, have finished in the top 10 in all three tournaments this season. They tied for sixth at the NCAA Preview and earned their best finish of the fall with a second-place finish last week at the Gary Koch Intercollegiate. Senior Matt Kohn fired a career-low 65 to win the individual title at the Koch Intercollegiate.
?Obviously, this is a great testament to our returning players and the freshmen who have jumped in the lineup this season,? said head coach Brian Craig. ?They have done a great job of carrying on the tradition that we?ve set at Kentucky over the last few years.?
The Wildcats return to the links, Oct. 23-25, at the Isleworth Invitational in Orlando, Fla.
