The UNLV Mens Golf Team is ranked seventh in the Golfweek national rankings as of March 1, and number 8 in the Golfstat rankings. The top-ranked team in the nation is Florida in the Golfweek poll and Stanford in the Golfstat poll. The Rebels can be seen practicing at many of Las Vegas' best golf courses including Southern Highlands, their home course, Shadow Creek, TPC Summerlin, Cascata, Rio Secco, Bali Hai Golf Club and Las Vegas Country Club.

The seventh-ranked UNLV Rebels Mens Golf Team entered the final round with the lead at the Burns Invitational but stumpled and finished second behind the University of Texas. The event was played at the Leilehua Golf Club in Hawaii. Rebel junior Jared Texter was the best UNLV finisher with his sixth place-finish.

Jim Furyk, who has won 3 PGA Tour events played in Las Vegas, was four shots off the lead of the NISSAN Open following the first round. Trying to figure out a new driver was a challenge, and his round might have been a little better had he had some more time.

The Southern Nevada Golf Association recently held the Las Vegas Review-Journal Golf Classic at Sunrise Vista Golf Club. Winners were determined in the Net, Senior Net and Senior Gross divisions.

Unfortunately, Danny Gans (The Mirage headliner) and Tim Herron missed the Pro-Am cut at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but Gans was one of the featured celebrities--maybe the most featured--during CBS' telecast of Saturday's third-round.

Gans and Herron missed the cut by three strokes, even with a solid round of 66 in the third round. The 66 joined a first-round 66 and a second round 69.
