Flames Move Into Bushnell/Golfweek DII Coaches Poll’s No. 1 Spot for October 31, 2025

NORMAN, Okla. – Lee is No. 1 in the Bushnell/Golfweek DII Coaches Poll for the first time since September 9, 2022, after winning two of their four fall tournaments. The Flames won the Fripp Island to Bermuda Invite by 18 shots on October 21 that put individual champion Drew Zielinski into the PGA TOUR’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship (November 13-16 at Port Royal Golf Course), the first time an active NCAA Division II player received an exemption into a PGA TOUR event. Lee earned five first-place votes and 405 points in Fall 2025’s final poll.

Grand Valley State (seven first-place votes), West Florida (three-first-place votes), Central Oklahoma, and Florida Southern rounded out the top five, while Wingate (one first-place vote), Georgia Southwestern, Columbus State, St. Mary’s (TX), and Catawba completed the top 10.

See the rest of the top 25 below. 25 others also received votes. The Bushnell/Golfweek DII Coaches Poll will resume in early 2026.
