DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke men's golf team is ranked 15th in the latest Golf World/Nike Golf Division I College Coaches' Poll as announced by Golf World magazine, Nike Golf and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The Blue Devils have one tournament win and five runner-up finishes heading into next week's ACC Championship.

Texas, with wins at the Morris Williams Invitational and the Insperity Augusta State Invitational, maintained their hold on the top spot in the Golf World/Nike Golf men's Division I college coaches' poll. The Longhorns earned 14 of the 20 available first-place votes as the squad now claims six victories in nine starts thus far into the 2011-12 season.

Alabama, with three wins this spring including recently at the Linger Longer Invitational, jumped four spots to the No. 2 position and earned three first-place votes. Auburn fell one place back to No. 3, as did California, which tied with UCLA in the No. 4 spot.
