The Ole Miss women's golf team wrapped up regular season play with their third runner-up finish of the season at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The fifth-ranked Rebels finished the two-day event with an 874 (287-295-292) and tied for second with Vanderbilt. Senior Julia Johnson led the Rebels with a runner-up individual finish, her sixth straight top 10 finish. Senior Kennedy Swann and sophomore Chiara Tamburlini turned in top 20 finishes for the Rebels. The duo both shot a three-round 219 and tied for 16th.
The Rebels head to Birmingham as the defending SEC champions after winning the program's first team title at the 2019 SEC Championship. The 2020 tournament was canceled due to COVID-19. In 2019 the Rebels finished stroke play as the No. 8 seed headed into match play. After a first round upset over top-seeded Florida, the Rebels defeated Georgia before beating South Carolina for the title.
With just one regular season tournaments remaining until postseason play, Ole Miss sits No. 4 nationally in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings and No. 6 in the Golfstat Team Rankings. The Rebels have been ranked inside the top 10 all season long, ranking as high as a program-best No. 2 back in November.
