Rebel Golfer Takes Home Third At Scenic City

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Ole Miss senior golfer Callum Macaulay took home third place in the Scenic City Intercollegiate Tuesday at the Honors Course, to lead the Rebels to a sixth place finish.

Macaulay carded a three under 69 in the first round and followed with a 71 to lead the field after two rounds.   A final round 80 left him at 220 and three shots back of UAB’s Garrett Osborn, who totaled a 217 to garner medalist honors. Middle Tennessee’s Rick Cochran came in second at 219.

The third-place showing marked the best finish for Macaulay as a Rebel. His previous best was a fifth place finish at the Mason Rudolph Championships in the fall of 2004.

In the team standings, UNC-Charlotte won the tournament with a 294-296-300-- 890.  Middle Tennessee came in second at 285-306-308899, while Mississippi State ended up third with a 300-295-306901.  The Rebels shot 294-305-313912 to earn the top 10 finish.

“We are very disappointed in our performance today,” head coach Ernest Ross said.  “We got off to a bad start and hung our heads.  We didn’t play with any confidence.  I would like to congratulate Callum on his third place finish.  We will work to get better before our next tournament.”
