COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina men’s golf team is ranked in the top 25 in the latest Golfweek and Golfstat rankings released this week.

The Gamecocks moved up two spots to No. 23 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings and entered the Golfstat Relative Rankings for the first time this season at No. 25.

South Carolina is coming off a third-place finish at the Bayou City Collegiate Championships with a total of 851 (-13). The Gamecocks, who have a head-to-head record of 55-12-1, have finished third or better in four straight events, including two wins. It matches last year’s stretch of four consecutive top-three finishes as the most by a Gamecock team since finishing third or better in six straight events during the spring schedule of 1999.
