Head coach Trey jones brings everyone back, including seven upperclassmen, bringing together a national-title contender led by Jack Maguire.
With the 2015-16 college golf season set to begin, Lance Ringler ranked the top 30 men's golf teams for the preseason based on their performances last season and incoming talent. The countdown continues with No. 1 Florida State:
• • •
Florida State
Preseason rank: 1
Final 2014-15 Golfweek/Sagarin ranking: 3
2014-15 in review: The Seminoles reached No. 1 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings during the season before ultimately finishing 11th at the NCAA Championship. Florida State won six times as a team and was also third at the ACC Championship.
Notable departures: None
Key returnees: Jack Maguire, Hank Lebioda, Rowin Caron
Newcomers of note: Bennett Baker, Corey Carlson
Fall schedule: Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational, Sept. 18-20; Dick's Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup, Sept. 25-27; Jerry Pate Intercollegiate, Oct. 5-6; U.S. Collegiate, Oct. 16-18.
Fall outlook: It all starts with junior Jack Maguire, who has been the Seminoles' top player ever since arriving in Tallahassee. Maguire, who played in this year's U.S. Open, finished last season ranked ninth by Golfweek. He is joined by seniors Hank Lebioda and Rowin Caron, two top-30 players from a season ago. Junior Cristobal Del Solar nearly qualified for the U.S. Open this summer, losing in a playoff to Sam Horsfield, and his classmates, Josh Lee and Anthony Alex, also return. This is a deep and experienced squad for head coach Trey Jones, and he gets some new pieces, including Bennett Baker and Corey Carlson. The Seminoles are legit national-title contenders.
