THE COURSE
Suntree County Club's Classic Course was one of the first official tour stops for the Senior PGA Tour players through the eighties and the early nineties. Fairways, roughs and green surrounds newly renovated in 2015 with Celebration, and greens with Champion Bermuda. Although its ample fairways and generous greens provide inviting targets, the Classic golfer must also negotiate numerous bunkers, tree-lined fairways, and waterways throughout the course to achieve success.
REBELS IN THE RANKINGS
The Rebels head to Florida coming in at No. 16 in the most recent Scoreboard rankings powered by Clippd. The team is led by Macnab who sits in the 38 slot for individual rankings. Gal, Linder, Sundquist and Svarvar also all find themselves placed in the top 200 college golfers across the country, being ranked No. 116, No. 158, No. 168 and No. 190 respectively.
LAST TIME OUT
Ole Miss opened its 2025 spring campaign with a second place finish earlier in the month at the Puerto Rico Classic.
The Rebels shot a three-round score of 858 (-6) and led the field in par-5 scoring, going -12 at the Grand Reserve Golf Club. Ole Miss also ranked second in total birdies (42) and third in pars (186), to notch their third top 2 finish in the 2024-25 season. Caitlyn Macnab and Sophie Linder led the Rebels, each tallying a 54-hole score of 215 (-1) to tie for 11th.
