MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The St. Thomas University Men's Golf team continues to make its mark on the national stage, earning the No. 6 spot in the latest Scoreboard powered by Clippd NAIA Men's Golf Rankings, released October 28.

The Bobcats have accumulated an average of 109.35 ranking points through three tournaments during the 2026–27 season, placing them among the nation's top programs.

A major factor in the Bobcats' national standing has been their recent success at the Southeastern Fall Invitational in Lakeland, Florida. St. Thomas captured the team championship with a 54-hole score of 868 (+4), recording the lowest final-round team score in the field.

Junior Joe McCandless led the Bobcats with a 217 (+1), including a two-under-par final round that secured a top-10 individual finish. Senior Tomas Borquez followed closely with a 218 (+2), finishing tied for ninth.
