BEHIND THE ARCHITECTURE
At Mossy Oak Golf Club the combined philosophies of the George Bryan family, course architect Gil Hanse and the outdoor brand Mossy Oak deliver a full-sensory experience that truly immerses players into the native habitat and natural surroundings of the Mississippi Black Prairie. Designed with a light footprint on the land, the course design of Hanse follows the natural contours of the rolling prairie and oak tree stands.

A GLANCE AT THE REGULAR SEASON
It's been another productive year in the 12th edition of the Chris Malloy era. Ole Miss has seven top five finishes this season; two individual winners and a team sweep via the Invitational at the Honors Course.

Five players have tallied at least one top 10 finish with four tallying at least one top five. With postseason play on the horizon, Malloy and company look to make it nine straight regional appearances and the eighth team trip to the NCAA Championships.

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.

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 65 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings and the top 25 of PGA TOUR U. The three have combined to play in 121 collegiate events, tallying 355 rounds.

BROTHERLY LOVE
Golf is one of the more unique games that can be played as an individual or as a member of a team. When you pair family with it, the game doesn't get much sweeter. For the sibling duo of Cohen and Collins Trolio, having the chance to play together for the second straight year is something they'll cherish forever.

"We have a really cool relationship and have been around each other and our best friends" Cohen said. "I missed him when I was gone and we'd talk on the phone most nights, but it's cool to be able to come to a school and play together and learn from other people."

"It could not have worked out any better because I never saw us getting the chance to play collegiately together" Collins said. "I learned to play the game by watching Cohen so it's cool now that we get to compete against each other and play on the same team."

YOUNG AND HUNGRY
Jacob Blanton and Collins Trolio round out the returners from the 2024-25 roster. Blanton has four individual starts this season and most recently competed at the Mason Rudolph Championship. Trolio has tallied seven starts and collected a top 10 finish at the Thomas Sharkey Individual.

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 after the win at Watersound.

BUILDING OFF HISTORY
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.
