The UNLV men's golf team finished second at the Tucker Intercollegiate and third at the Carpet Capital, but it is their fourth-place finish this week that is perhaps the most stunning.
The Rebels were ranked fourth nationally in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index, released Tuesday, a 16-spot leap from their Sept. 20 ranking. In that time, UNLV shot three straight sub-par rounds and defeated 11 ranked teams at the talent-heavy Carpet Capital Collegiate in Rocky Face, Ga.
The Rebels are rated No. 47 in Tuesday's edition of the Golfweek/Sagarin Performanc Index after playing in just one tournament this season. UNLV finished 9th among 19 teams at the Dick McGuire Invitational last week in Albuquerque.
