Bushnell/Golfweek Poll

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. - The Saint John's University golf team climbed four spots to No. 16 in the latest Bushnell/Golfweek Division III Coaches' poll released Friday, Oct. 8.

Methodist (N.C.) received nine of the 12 first-place votes to remain at No. 1, followed by Illinois Wesleyan, Emory (Ga.) and Carnegie Mellon (Pa.). Gustavus Adolphus vaulted from unranked to No. 17, three points behind SJU.  

SJU has won all five of its tournaments this fall, including its second consecutive conference title (14th overall) Oct. 2-4 at the MIAC Championships at Bunker Hills G.C. The Johnnies finished with a 45-hole total of 706 (-14) and for the first time since 2008, all five Johnnies finished in the top 10 to earn All-MIAC honors.

The win clinched SJU's 19th appearance at the NCAA Division III Championship when the 2022 edition is held May 10-13 at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.

SJU wraps up the fall portion of its 2021-22 schedule next weekend (Oct. 17-19) at the Golfweek Division III Fall Invitational in Destin, Fla.
