4/13/2016 | Men's Golf
What: SEC Men's Golf Championship
When: April 15-17
Where: Sea Island Golf Club- Seaside Course; St. Simon's Island, Georgia
The Field: No. 4 Georgia, No. 6 Auburn, No. 7 Vanderbilt, No. 13 South Carolina, No. 14 LSU, No. 17 Alabama, No. 18 Florida, No. 23 Arkansas, No. 28 Texas A&M, No. 35 Kentucky, No. 46 Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri
Course Stats: Par: 70; 7,055 yards
Featured Hole: The 378-yard par 4 No. 16 will be a pivotal hole in deciding who the conference champion this week. A hazard area down the left off the tee forces players to favor the right side of fairway.
Player to Watch: Freshman Braden Thornberry picked up his second-consecutive individual title at the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship two weeks ago, as he pulled away from the field for a three-stroke victory. His two-straight tournament titles and strong play this spring have jumped him to No. 17 in the Golfstat SEC rankings.
Ole Miss Lineup: Braden Thornberry, Ben Wolcott, Forrest Gamble, Noah West, Connor Davis
Quoting: Head Coach Chris Malloy on the upcoming tournament...
"We are excited to get back into action at our conference championship this weekend. The guys are all confident in their games and we are playing well as a team. Braden is certainly riding a high right now, having won our last two tournaments individually. I know he is ready to tee it up."
The Rebels will tee off the opening round Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. CST. Fans can follow live stats at OleMissSports.com or Golfstat.com.
