Prospective Student-Athlete Information - Men's Golf
Men's Golf Questionnaire
We are excited about your interest in the University of North Texas and Mean Green men's golf. A golf magazine once called the University of North Texas the "Notre Dame" of men’s golf -- for a very good reason. With 78 tournament championships, including four NCAA crowns and 27 conference titles to its credit, North Texas has earned international recognition in the sport.
In all, the Mean Green has competed in the NCAA Tournament 28 times as a team and placed in the top 10 on 16 of those occasions. The program’s long list of successes also includes seven Lone Star Conference titles, two Gulf Coast Conference championships, 13 Missouri Valley Conference titles, three Southland Conference championships, one Big West Conference title and a Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2003.
Under head coach Brad Stracke, the program is having a rebirth to national prominence. This season the Mean Green achieved its highest ranking in seven seasons and won its first team tournament title in over five seasons. Individually, North Texas was the only school in the nation to send to players to the NCAA Men's Golf Regional in Rodolfo Cazaubon and Carlos Ortiz. Cazaubon recorded the lowest stroke average in seven seasons at North Texas and was the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and named to the all-conference team. Ortiz was also named to the all-conference team and he recorded the third lowest round in the nation during the season with a 64.
