WEST POINT, Miss. – The No. 3 Ole Miss men’s golf team secured their second sweep and third victory of the season Tuesday afternoon at the 2025 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship. The Rebels finished with a team score of (825, -39), which set a new tournament low-54 record at OWCC. The previous record was 20-under par by Georgia in 2021.
The 33-stroke win marked the largest margin of victory in program history. Tom Fischer and Michael La Sasso took home individual titles, both shooting (203, -13). It is the first collegiate win for Fischer and second for La Sasso. The duo tied the individual low-54 in tournament history which was previously set by Marcus Byrd of Middle Tennessee State in 2019.

La Sasso had the low round of the day for Ole Miss with a three-under 69. He carded rounds of 67-67-69 and tallied his second double-digit under-par finish of the season. La Sasso now has 16 rounds in the 60s on the year, placing him tied for second in program history for the most rounds in the 60s in a single season.
The junior from Raleigh, North Carolina won back in the fall at the Hamptons Intercollegiate (Oct. 7-8) for his first career individual title. He’s the first Rebel since Jackson Suber in 2022 to record multiple individual wins in the same season.
