The spring college golf season is well underway. Time to take a look at the first spring Div. I Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll for 2022.
The Oklahoma Sooners pick up right where they left off. Actually, they’re position is a bit stronger than where they were at the end of 2021. The Sooners are still the No. 1-ranked team but they improved from 13 first-place votes to 19.
Arizona State, No. 2 the last time out, remains No. 2 and garnered four first-place votes. Oklahoma State received the other first-place vote and sits in third in the poll.
Pepperdine and North Carolina round out the top 5. The big mover in the spring poll is Georgia, up nine spots to a tie for No. 7. Washington also had a big leap, going from No. 20 to No. 13.
