Ole Miss Named Team Of The Week By Golfweek
3/18/2008 | Men's Golf
The Rebels’ victory was their first of the spring and fourth this season. Ole Miss posted rounds of 277-292-287 for an 8-under 856 total and a 5-shot win over No. 2 Georgia.
Seniors David Marino and Kyle Ellis gave the Rebels a huge boost with their heroics on the back nine Sunday.
Ellis stood on the tee at the par-5 14th hole and watched Marino hole out his second shot for eagle on the par-4 13th. A few minutes later, Ellis trumped that. From the middle of the fairway and 220 yards away from a tucked back pin, Ellis hit a slight cut shot with his hybrid club. The ball landed on the front of the green and rolled into the hole for a double-eagle 2.
Marino tied for third with his best 54-hole score (213), including a career-low 67 in the first round. Ellis and freshman Jonathan Randolph tied for sixth with a 215.
The Rebels are back in action April 7-8 as they host the Bank of America Intercollegiate at Reunion Golf Club.
