Golfers Bring Home the Gold

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Ole Miss men’s golf team fired a 290 in the final round of play Tuesday, to capture the Mason Rudolph Intercollegiate at the Vanderbilt Legends Club, to conclude the fall campaign.

It marks the Rebels’ sixth tournament title since head coach Ernest Ross returned in 2004 to take over the program. Ole Miss’ team total of 876 (290-296-290) won the tournament by eight strokes over co-runners-up Vanderbilt and North Florida. UT-Chattanooga captured fourth place after shooting the tournament’s only under-par round on Tuesday.
