OU men's golf climbs to No. 1 atop pair of rankings
The Oklahoma men's golf team moved into the nation's top spot in the Bushnell/ Golfweek Coaches Poll and the Golfweek Sagarin rankings on Friday afternoon.
The Sooners opened the spring season ranked second.
The Sooners return to No. 1 for the first time since October 2020, when the team finished as the runner-up at the East Lake Cup. OU received 13 first-place votes, followed by second-ranked Vanderbilt, who received four first-place votes.
Oklahoma boasts six top -30 players, including four inside the top 10. All-Americans Quade Cummins, Garett Reband and Jonathan Brightwell all represented Team USA at the Arnold Palmer Cup in December.
Due to severe winter weather that is expected to affect a large area, the Feb .14-16 AllAmerican Intercollegiate in Houston, which was to include the Oklahoma men's golf team, has been canceled. The Sooners will look to replace the event with another tournament later this spring.
