Rebels Shoot 10-over 298 in Final Round
ARGYLE, Texas – Windy conditions proved tough for the No. 41 Ole Miss women's golf team Tuesday on the final day of The Bruzzy as the Rebels shot a final round 10-over 298 to finish runner-up.
Ole Miss finished two strokes back of the team champion, No. 35 Baylor. The Rebels shot a program record single round score to start off the week, firing a 12-under 276 right out of the gates in Texas on Monday morning.
The Rebels led the field in par-5 scoring, going 14-under on the longest holes on the course, and birdies, carding 55 total as a team.
"The conditions were tough today with gusty winds and unfortunately, we faltered a little at the end of our round after making a great run for the win," said head coach Kory Henkes. "Anytime you are in contention, it is valuable learning experience for our young team. We played with a lot of heart this week and we are proud of the progress we are making as we approach the postseason."
