swing into tourney ranked No. 7 The TCU men’s golf team heads into the U.S. Collegiate Golf Tournament Friday in Tucson, Ariz. as the seventh best team in the nation according to the Golfweek/Sagarin ratings.
The Frogs were ranked No. 1 in the nation during the fall semester, and being nationally ranked is nothing new to the Frogs. “We were number one earlier in the season, but we have seemed to settled into about seven or eight,” said head coach Bill Montigel. “For the past 10 or 11 years we have been in the Top 20 nationally.” The Frogs are led by senior No. 27-ranked Andy Doeden and junior No. 42-ranked Adam Rubinson. Monitgel said both Doeden and Rubinson are good golfers. “Both are good players,” said Monitgel. “But we actually have six good guys golfing for us, which is essential for us to have such a good team.” Montigel said that the team is looking to go out and be competitive at the tournament.
“We are just looking to go out and be competitive and maybe win the tournament,” said Montigel. “Week in and week out we play against the top teams in the nation and we have the talent to beat anyone.” The goal of the team has not been to win the Conference USA championship or the NCAA championship, but to play competitively on a consistent basis, Montigel said. “We want to try to be competitive every week,” Monitgel said. “We aren’t concerned with winning the championships.” Montigel said the six guys on the team could all one day make the Professional Golf Association tour. “Now they won’t all jump on right out of playing for TCU,” Monitgel said. “But if they continue to work on their game, then they will make the tour.” Nathan
