Golf Remains No. 3 in Latest Coaches Poll

Feb. 13, 2004

Clemson remains the nation’s third-ranked golf team, according to the latest GCAA/Precept Coaches Poll. The Tigers, who began last fall as the No. 1 team, trail only Florida and UCLA in the rankings.

Clemson competed in the North Florida Collegiate Championship last weekend, where the Tigers finished in fourth place at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra, FL. The tournament was the first of the spring season for Clemson. Senior Gregg Jones finished third in the individual race with a one-under par total over the 54 holes.

The Precept Coaches Poll is voted on by a panel of head coaches at Division I institutions. The next Precept Poll will be released February 26. Clemson next plays in the Puerto Rico Classic from February 22-24 in San Juan, PR.
