IN THE RANKINGS
• Wake Forest is a season-high No. 3 in the GolfStat rankings and No. 4 in the GolfWeek rankings

ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN...

• Wake Forest has three different individual winners this season (Cameron Young, Eric Bae, Parker Gillam), the first time three different Deacs have won in a season since 1983-84
SHOOTING LOW
• Wake Forest is on pace to set the school record for team scoring average, entering the ACC Championship at 279.84, over four shots better than the existing record of 284.31 set in 2014-15
• If the season ended now, four of the 10 best individual season scoring averages in program history would be set this season (Cameron Young, Eric Bae, Kengo Aoshima, Eugenio Chacarra)
