COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. – Sophomore Braden Thornberry broke the tournament record to help lead the Ole Miss men’s golf team to a first-place finish at the Franklin American Mortgage Intercollegiate at The Grove Tuesday.

The Olive Branch, Mississippi native chipped-in a birdie on the final hole to finish the day with a 1-under par 71 and posted a tournament-record, 5 under 211 en route to medalist honors. Thornberry picked up the third career victory and has two top-5 finishes in two starts on the season.

“Braden is off to a very impressive start this season,” said Ole Miss head coach Chris Malloy after his second tournament title with the Rebels.
