No. 3 Men’s Golf Set for Regular Season Finale at Old Waverly Collegiate Championship
4/13/2025 | Men's Golf
WEST POINT, Miss. – In the final event of the regular season, the No. 3 Ole Miss men's golf team will make the 89-mile trip to compete in the 2025 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship. The prestigious Old Waverly golf club will be the site of the event with Mississippi State set to serve as the host.
The Rebels will look to cap off the regular season with their third win. Ole Miss has finished inside the top two six times this season, including back-to-back victories to close out the fall.
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
Monday, April 14 – 36 holes
Tuesday, April 15 – 18 holes
BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
Designed by the award-winning duo of Jerry Pate (US Open Champion) and Bob Cupp, Old Waverly stretches out to over 7,000 yards from the tips and delivers an unrivaled golf experience highlighted by holes that place a premium on accuracy and a bevy of risk/reward shots, all while navigating through some of the most scenic acreage in the Mississippi Black Prairie. This week at the course will play at Par 72, stretching 7,088 yards.
THOUGHTS FROM COACH MALLOY
"I know the guys are looking forward to playing a little closer to home one last time before we get into postseason play. It's always nice to play in our home state, so this will be a great opportunity to fine tune some things before we leave for the SEC Championship."

ON THE VERGE OF HISTORY
It's been nothing short of a historic season for the 2024-25 team, setting new accolades no team in Ole Miss history has ever done before.
• Currently tied for the fourth most rounds under-par in a single season by an Ole Miss team at 18.
• The Rebels carded the second lowest single round score in school history, shooting 267 at the 2024 Visit Knoxville Collegiate.
• Set the second lowest 54-hole score (819) twice this season. First at the 2024 Visit Knoxville Collegiate and again at the 2025 Mason Rudolph Championship.
• Michael La Sasso tied the fourth lowest 54-hole score by an individual in program history, shooting 201 in route to his first collegiate win at the Hamptons Intercollegiate.
• Cameron Tankersley tied Jackson Suber for the fifth lowest 54-hole score by an individual in program history, shooting 202 at the Visit Knoxville Collegiate.
• La Sasso currently sits tied for fourth alongside former Rebels Hugo Townsend and Jackson Suber for the most rounds in the 60s in a single season at 13.
THOSE BOYS CAN PLAY
The recipe for success for Ole Miss this season has been solid team golf. Michael La Sasso, Cameron Tankersley, Cohen Trolio, Kye Meeks, Tom Fischer and Collins Trolio have all finished inside the top five at least once 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. 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.
GAME RECOGNIZES GAME
With arguably one of the deeper lineups in the country, the accolades for Ole Miss' Michael La Sasso and Cameron Tankersley have piled in during the 2024-25 campaign. Both were named to the 2025 Ben Hogan Award Watch List on January 29, recognizing the top 40 amateur golfers in the country. Building off an All-American season in 2023-24, La Sasso was named to the 2024-25 Haskins Award Presented by Stifel First Spring Watch List on March 10. The duo of La Sasso and Tankersley have combined for 31 rounds in red figures and nine top 10 finishes this season.
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."
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 2023-24 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, 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.
FULL SWING AHEAD
Following play at Old Waverly, Ole Miss will gear up for postseason golf beginning at the SEC Championship April 23-27, in St. Simons Island, Georgia. It will mark the 24th year for the Southeastern Conference Championship to be contested at Sea Island Golf Club.
