Ole Miss Women's Golf Inks Florida Standout

OXFORD, Miss. - One of the top players in the nation, Christina Miller, of Bradenton, Fla., has signed a national letter of intent to join the Ole Miss women's golf program beginning in the 2010-11 academic year, head coach Michele Drinkard announced Thursday.

Miller, ranked as high as No. 22 on the Golfweek Sagarin Performance index this past year, attends the IMG David Ledbetter Golf Academy. In 2006, Miller qualified (Medalist) for the USGA Women's Amateur at the age of 14. This past year, she competed in the USGA Girls Junior Championship and qualified for the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying. Miller has placed in the top five of seven American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournaments.

"We are excited to have Christina join our Rebel family," Drinkard said. "She is an incredibly talented player and is going to have an immediate impact at Ole Miss and within the SEC.

"Christina is very goal oriented and understands the importance and dedication of the preparation needed to be successful. She aspires to be an elite player at Ole Miss, in the SEC and to have an opportunity to play professionally when she graduates from Ole Miss, and we are looking forward to helping her make that happen."

Miller is a three-time Future Collegians World Tour (FCWT) All-American and a member of the National Honor Society.
