With a fifth-place team finish and all-tournament honors for freshman Conner Beth Ball, the Ole Miss women’s golf team had a strong showing in the Ocean Course Invitational, which concluded Tuesday in Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
The Rebels started off hot, building a first-place lead going into the final round after shooting even par in the prior two rounds. The final round, however, was Ole Miss’ greatest foe, with windy conditions keeping every team above par on the day. The Rebels concluded their impressive output at Kiawah Island with a three-way tie for fifth place at 292-292-309.
Even with the final-round struggle, Ole Miss made a statement, nearly taking its first team tournament win in nine years.
