A new Bushnell Golfweek Coaches Poll has been released, but at the top, things don’t look much different than they did last time. There was no movement among the top five teams in the previous rankings – those remain in the same spots, with Oklahoma leading the way after receiving 19 first-place votes.
In fact, the biggest mover was North Carolina, which climbed all the way from No. 15 in the previous poll into a tie for sixth with Pepperdine.
In the last poll before the NCAA postseason gets underway, Oklahoma State and Clemson, winners of the Big 12 and SEC conference titles, respectively, were the only two teams other than Oklahoma to score first-place votes.
NCAA host Arizona State landed in ninth, one spot up from the last poll.
