Honorable Mention: University of Oregon Ducks 

Didn’t expect an honorable mention, did you? Well, it was only fitting to include the defending NCAA golf champions in this feature.

Although they didn’t make the top five on this list, the Oregon Ducks are still fresh off a title and hungry for more. With such a recent taste of victory, they should be relaxed and refreshed this season.

When a team is relaxed, they often play their best. Furthermore, head coach Casey Martin knows what it takes to win, and he’ll do all he can to get the freshmen up to par with the defending champs.

Oregon will once again be a fun team to watch.
