Rebels Shoot Final Round 278, Move Up Two Spots on Final Day
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. – Ole Miss women's golf saved the best for last as the Rebels finished with a 10-under 278 on the final round of the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate on Sunday. The 10-under round ties a program record for lowest single round total.
"The first day when we got off the course the team was in last place," said assistant coach Drew Belt. "For the team to be able to finish in second, we couldn't be happier about it. The girls showed a ton of grit and determination today, especially considering it was a high of 42 degrees with wind.
"Although the girls are very happy, we all know there is work to do to stop beating ourselves the first day. Coach Henkes and myself will be preparing hard with the girls this week for the Magnolia Invitational."
Conner Beth Ball and Julia Johnson led the charge on the final day, each shooting a 6-under 66, both career lows. The duo combined for 13 birdies and an eagle on the final day.
Ball, a sophomore from Starkville, Mississippi, tied for second individually with a three-day 2-under 214. It was the third top-five finish for Ball in her career.
Johnson climbed 26 spots and finished tied for tied for fifth. The sophomore led the team in birdies with 12.
Ellen Hutchinson-Kay led the team with 41 pars over the three days, and finished tied for 13th after a final round even-par 72.
The Rebels return home to host the Magnolia Invitational from October 14th-16th.
