Second Straight Season in Which a Rebel Has Earned First Team Honors
OXFORD, Miss. – Just days after a top 10 individual finish at the NCAA Championship, Ole Miss junior Chiara Tamburlini earned first-team All-America honors by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) on Wednesday.
Tamburlini becomes the second Rebel to earn first-team All-America accolades in program history. Graduating senior Julia Johnson took home first-team honors last season.
The St. Gallen, Switzerland, native wrapped up a milestone year by finishing eighth overall at the 2022 NCAA Championship. It was the second-highest individual finish at the NCAAs in program history, while also standing as just the second time a Rebel has finished in the top 10 at the NCAAs.
Ending her year with a team-best 72.60 stroke average on the 2021-22 season, Tamburlini became the fifth Rebel in program history to bring home first-team All-SEC honors earlier this season, marking the first All-SEC honor of her collegiate career.
The 2021-22 season ends with Tamburlini having earned at least a top 20 in every single tournament appearance for the Rebels on the year, going 11-for-11 in the category. Tamburlini will also end her junior campaign having recorded three top 5 finishes and seven top 10 finishes.
