Methodist Atop USA South Men's Golf Pre-Championship Poll

 

 

The USA South Athletic Conference's men's golf coaches have released their 2022 pre-championship poll. Head coaches do not vote for their own teams in the balloting. Methodist was picked as the favorite by the coaches and will try to dethrone last year's tournament champions, Piedmont. The top-nine teams ranked within the 4/13 Golfstat rankings qualify for the tournament.

The 2022 USA South Men's & Women's Golf Championships will take place April 18-20 at The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Each event will be three rounds for a total of 54 holes.

Wesleyan freshman golfer Matt Coltren qualified for the USA South tournament as an individual based on his golfstat ranking and scores in tournaments throughout the season. Coltren shot an 11-over par 83 in the first round on Monday and will tee off in round two on Tuesday at 9am.
