The Ole Miss men’s golf team will stay in state to compete in the Old Waverly Collegiate Championships in West Point, Miss., hosted by Mississippi State Monday.
The two-day tournament will be held at the Old Waverly Golf Club. The 15-team field includes the host Bulldogs, Florida, Southern Mississippi, Austin Peay, Ole Miss, Charleston Southern, Louisiana, Troy, Chattanooga, Louisiana Tech, South Alabama, Wichita State, Cincinnati, Memphis and Southeastern Louisiana.
The Rebel lineup will consist of juniors Blake Morris, Joe Lewis, sophomore Connor Davis, senior Tom Brown and freshman Noah West.
“This time of year of the season it seems each tournament is getting more important,” head coach Ernest Ross said. “It is nice to have two tournaments in a row in Mississippi. Our players are familiar with both courses and we like both layouts. We believe theses courses fit our team, so we are looking forward to the challenge. We have two players in our lineup this week who haven’t played in our top five in a while, but I have ultimate confidence in both of them. I can’t wait to get started.”
Morris, a native of Waterbury, Conn., has posted six top-20 finishes this season.
