OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss men's golf team bolstered its future with the addition of junior standouts Chris Ingham of Miami, Fla., and Joe Lewis of Savannah, Ga., head coach Ernest Ross announced Tuesday.
Ingham, who attends Gulliver Prep, owns one win and four top 10's on the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) circuit. He was also the runner-up last year in the Miami-Dade Amateur. An outstanding student, Ingham is a National Merit Finalist.
Lewis, who hails from Savannah Country Day School, just finished tied for 14th at the AJGA Innisbrook. He has won six tournaments in the last four months, including a Southeastern Junior Tour event, a Hurricane Junior Tour event, and several high school tournaments.
"I am really proud to have Chris and Joe in our program," Ross said. "Both are good students and excellent players. I expect both to come in and help our team immediately. They both come from good families and have strong work ethics. I can't wait for them to get to Ole Miss."
Ingham and Lewis join Connecticut native Blake Morris, who signed with the Rebels in the fall.
