Kentucky men’s golf has turned to the nation’s top-ranked team to fill its head coaching vacancy.
Wildcats athletics director Mitch Barnhart announced Saturday that the school has hired Vanderbilt associate head coach Gator Todd to succeed former Brian Craig. Todd is in his sixth season with the Commodores, who are the top overall seed in the NCAA Auburn Regional and have been ranked No. 1 in Golfstat for much of the season.
“First, I’d like to thank Mitch Barnhart for believing in me and my vision for Kentucky men’s golf,” Todd said in a statement. “This is a dream scenario for my family and me, we could not be more excited to plant our roots in Lexington.
