HISTORY AT WATERSOUND
Ole Miss opened their spring slate with a top five finish and an individual win from one of their young studs in freshman Daniel Tolf at the Watersound Invitational. The Gothenburg, Sweden native posted (201, -9) setting a new career-low 54-hole score in his first victory on the collegiate circuit. Tolf began the spring with back-to-back rounds of five-under 65, also setting a new career-low 18-hole score.

He became the first freshman nearly 10 years to win at least a share of an individual title for Ole Miss. The last freshman to win in their rookie year was Braden Thornberry who conquered them all at the FAU Slomin Autism Invite March 25-27, 2016, with rounds of 69-67-69.

This past Wednesday the Southeastern Conference named Tolf SEC Freshman of the Week, becoming the first Rebel to receive the award since his teammate Cameron Tankersley took home the weekly honor on Feb. 15, 2023.

WINNERS IN CHATTANOOGA
Ole Miss swept the field taking home their first team and individual title of the season at The Invitational at the Honors Course. The Rebels posted (854, -10) and Cameron Tankersley earned medalist honors in his first collegiate win.

Tankersley, the overnight leader, began his final round at six-under and shot even par 72 to secure the win. Needing par at the 18th, Tankersley calmly stepped over a five-footer and sank the putt. The tournament sweep marked the 10th of the Chris Malloy era.

A TRIO OF EXPERIENCE
The trio of Tom Fischer, Cameron Tankersley and Cohen Trolio look to guide Ole Miss back to postseason play for the ninth straight year. All three seniors rank inside the top 60 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings and the top 25 of PGA TOUR U. The three have combined to play in 112 collegiate events, tallying 328 rounds.

YOUNG AND HUNGRY
Jacob Blanton and Collins Trolio round out the returners from the 2024-25 roster. Blanton made his collegiate debut at the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational and most recently competed in the Thomas Sharkey Individual Collegiate. Collins Trolio has tallied four starts this season and has a top 10 finish via the Thomas Sharkey Individual. Trolio is the younger brother of Cohen as the two get to compete for the same program for the second straight year.

Finn Meister and Daniel Tolf were the 2025 signees Chris Malloy and Emerson Newsome tabbed from the high school ranks. Meister was the No. 2 recruit out of the state of Arizona by Junior Golf Scoreboard and competed in the 2024 Korn Ferry event - The Ascendant presented by Blue. Tolf hails from Gothenburg, Sweden and is quite the stature for an 18-year-old freshman. The lengthy hitter looks to continue his momentum in Cabo coming off a win at the Watersound Invitational.

2024-25 REWIND
The Rebels look to make it nine straight trips to the postseason after arguably the best and most decorated season in program history in 2024-25. Ole Miss earned its first No. 1 ranking on October 23, 2024, and received its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history. The Rebels finished as semifinalists at the 2025 NCAA Championships at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, in Carlsbad, California.

The team claimed three team titles, the most wins since 2016-17. Tom Fischer tallied his first individual collegiate win, and six players finished inside the top five at least once. The group set a program record for the most team rounds under par in a single season and the most team rounds of par or better at 26. The Rebels finished inside the top five nine times, the most since 1984-85.
