WACO, Texas – Baylor men's golf coach Mikkel Bjerch-Andresen has been promoted to the role of associate head coach, as announced Wednesday by head coach Mike McGraw.

Entering his third season as a coach at Baylor, the four-time letterwinner (2012-15) has helped the Bears to three tournament wins, a postseason berth and multiple individual honors. Dating back to his time at Texas Tech, where he spent the last two seasons as associate head coach, he has coached six All-Americans.

"I am thrilled for Mikkel," McGraw said. "He loves this University and is a terrific coach, so this made all the sense in the world."

Last season Bjerch-Andresen helped guide BU to a win in the Bear Brawl, the program's first event held in Waco since 2005. Under his direction, junior Johnny Keefer earned All-American honors from Golfweek and the Golf Coaches Association in addition to All-Big 12 and Big 12 Men's Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year accolades. Keefer also qualified as an individual for the NCAA Norman Regional, becoming just the second Bear to compete as an individual in the NCAA postseason.

In his first season as an assistant with the Bears, Bjerch-Andresen helped the team to a second Big 12 Match Play title. The Bears followed that performance with a win at the Rice Invitational to open the spring semester. The win was highlighted by a final-round 275 to seal a six-shot victory over the University of Houston.

In 2022-23, Bjerch-Andresen and McGraw welcome back an experienced roster that returns 79.5% of its stroke-play rounds played in 2021-22, led by Keefer.
