The West Virginia golf team, just five years into varsity play, has earned its first-ever top-25 ranking. Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll ranked the Mountaineers No. 25 in its first poll of the season, coming off a T-16 finish at the The Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Five Big 12 teams dot the rankings: Baylor (No. 3), Texas Tech (No. 6), Oklahoma (No. 9) and Texas (No. 10). TCU and Kansas also received votes in the season-opening poll.
WVU will host The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational on Oct. 7-8, at Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport.
