When Mike McGraw took over as head coach of the Baylor men’s golf team, he set out to take the program to new heights. After carefully constructing the roster, results on the links have been astounding.

In just three seasons, McGraw’s Bears have won nine team titles and had four players named All-Americans.

There’s something special, however, about this year’s roster that sets the team apart: all nine Baylor men’s golfers are from Texas.

McGraw said it was a purposeful effort to bring players in that were familiar with the area and grew up competing against each other.
