10/6/2024 | Men's Golf

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – Ole Miss men's golf heads to the Empire State to compete in the Hamptons Intercollegiate (Oct. 7-8). Coming off back-to-back second place finishes, the team looks to grab their first victory of the fall season.

BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
Founded in 1891, the Maidstone Club will be the site for the two-day event.

Across the 130 acres the course introduces multiple hazards at various angles, including a marsh, hook pond, sand dunes, beach grass, reeds, bunkers, and ever-present wind. The track is set to play par-72 at 6,665 yards.

PRESEASON BUZZ
Ole Miss earned preseason nods from Golf Channel with the No. 10 preseason ranking in the nation. The Rebels are one of 11 SEC teams inside the top 25 to start the 2024-25 campaign.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Rebels look to make it back to postseason play after heartbreak last season at the Stanford Regional. Ole Miss fell one stroke from the cut line to advance to the NCAA Championship. The team finished the 2023 regular season with seven top five finishes, 16 individual top 10 finishes, and a team victory at the Seminole Intercollegiate down in Tallahassee. The Rebels carded 20 rounds under par on the season, including a 262-round score on the final day of the Visit Knoxville Collegiate. The 262 score of (-18) set the new lowest single-round score in program history. It was previously set by the 2022-23 team which shot 268 (-10) at the 2022 SEC Fall Preview.

VETERAN PRESENCE
The program returns six members from the 2023-24 roster including PING All-American and First Team All-SEC selection Michael La Sasso. Veterans Kye Meeks and Cameron Tankersley aim to build on a promising 2023-24 resume. Tom Fischer enters his junior season after a strong summer in the amateur circuit. Fischer was the 18-hole leader after round one at the 2024 U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine, making it to the round of 32 match play.

THROUGH THE PORTAL
Malloy bolstered the roster with one signee through the portal with the addition of Cohen Trolio. The junior from LSU returns to his home state and is reunited with his younger brother Collins who enters his sophomore year with the team. Trolio notched 23 events for the Tigers with a 72.46 stroke average.

FULL SWING AHEAD
Following play in New York, the team will return to Mississippi and prepare for the Fallen Oak Invitational (Oct. 21-23). Ole Miss will co-host the tournament along with Mississippi State and Southern Miss. The three-day event will take place in Biloxi at the Fall Oak Course.
