BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
Twin Dolphin Club's 18-hole course is built into the mountainous Baja desert, combining rippling fairways and fast greens with dramatic arroyos, natural bunkers and phenomenal views of the Sea of Cortez. The architect behind the signature golf course is former world No. 1 and 1992 Masters Champion Fred Couples.

THOSE BOYS CAN PLAY
The key to solid team golf is having a lineup where anyone on the card can go out and put the group on their back any given day. That has been the recipe for success for Ole Miss this season as Michael La Sasso, Cameron Tankersley, Cohen Trolio, Kye Meeks and Tom Fischer have all finished inside the top five at least once so far this season.
Tankersley and Meeks set new career-best finishes and career-low 54-hole scores during the fall. Tom Fischer rounded out October with back-to-back top four finishes, marking a new career-best at the Hamptons Intercollegiate and Fallen Oak. Michael La Sasso broke through for his first collegiate victory back in October at the Hamptons Intercollegiate (Oct. 7-8). The junior from Raleigh, North Carolina dominated the field shooting (-15, 201) winning the event by 11 strokes. Cohen Trolio began his spring with a new career-low 54-hole score of (-11, 205) finishing fifth at the Puerto Rico Classic.
BROTHERLY LOVE
Golf is one of the more unique games that can be played as an individual or as a member of a team. When you pair family with it, the game doesn't get much sweeter. For the sibling duo of Cohen and Collins Trolio, having the chance to play collegiate golf for the same university over the next two seasons is something they'll cherish forever.
"We have a really cool relationship and have been around each other and our best friends" Cohen said. "I missed him when I was gone and we'd talk on the phone most nights, but it's cool to be able to come to a school and play together and learn from other people."
"It could not have worked out any better because I never saw us getting the chance to play collegiately together" Collins said. "I learned to play the game by watching Cohen so it's cool now that we get to compete against each other and play on the same team."
PRESEASON BUZZ TO NUMBER ONE
Ole Miss earned preseason nods from Golf Channel with the No. 10 preseason ranking in the nation. The Rebels were one of 11 SEC teams inside the top 25 to start the 2024-25 campaign. Ole Miss claimed the No. 1 ranking on October 23, 2024, and have been the unanimous No. 1 team since November 1, 2024.
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 2023 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.
FULL SWING AHEAD
After play in Mexico, the Rebels will head to the west coast for the Pauma Valley Invitational. Pauma Valley Country Club will be the site of the two-day event March 17-18. Loyola Marymount University will serve as the host school.
