Four Rebels Shoot Under-Par for Second Straight Day
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. – The No. 34 Ole Miss men's golf team fired a 15-under 273 on moving day at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate, the third-lowest single-round total in program history, to climb four spots up the leaderboard. Four Rebels shot under par for the second straight day, led by Jackson Suber who carded a 7-under 65.
The Rebels sit in fourth place heading into the final round Sunday after the 15-under performance and sit eight shots back of first place No. 29 East Tennessee State (281-269—550).
"I'm very proud of the way that this group bounced back today," head coach Chris Malloy said. "Yesterday's round left a bad taste in their mouth, and I knew that they were looking forward to getting out there today. I look for them to build off this momentum and post another low one tomorrow."
Suber posted a 65 for the fifth time in his career, his best rounds as a Rebel. The sophomore started 3-under through his first four holes thanks to a birdie on No. 1 and an eagle on the par-5 fourth. His lone bogey of the day came on No. 9 before going bogey-free on the back with four birdies. Suber is tied for second individually, moving up 26 spots on Saturday, and is six shots back of first place Jack Rhea of East Tennessee State, who is at 14-under par.
Vongchaisit posted another round of par-or-better today, shooting a 4-under 68. Vongchaisit came right out of the gates with four birdies in a row. The sophomore is tied for 19th headed into the final round tomorrow.
Jack Gnam joined his fellow sophomores with an under-par round of his own, firing a 2-under 70. Gnam carded four birdies on Saturday, three coming in a stretch on the back on Nos. 13, 14 and 15. He leads the field in par-3 scoring (-2).
Veeti Mahonen fired a 2-under 70 that featured 14 pars, three birdies and one bogey. The freshman was 1-over through six holes, but bounced back and carded three birdies his last 12 holes to finish in red figures.
Chip Getz followed his opening round 2-under 70 with a 4-over 76, and is tied for 49th individually.
Brody Blackmon moved up 13 spots to a tie for 41st after a 2-under 70.
The final round begins Sunday morning with tee times for Ole Miss starting at 8:15 a.m. CT. The Rebels will be paired with UNCW and Virginia Tech.
