Playing as an individual, Harris was razor sharp in Round 3. The fifth name on that list was senior Katy Harris. She tied for 17th to round out a group of five Rebels in the top-20. Her personal-best 69 in Round 1 set the tone for the lowest tournament score of her career at 220. Nonetheless, the Lexington, Kentucky, native put together a spectacular three days at Old Waverly.
She was at even par going into 18, where she found trouble like many others did on the treacherous finishing hole. Junior Kie Purdom was on pace to provide the fourth counting score for the Rebels. At 72-77-74-223, Lim turned in her best performance and her best finish (T25th) in an Ole Miss uniform. The Suwanee, Georgia, native fought her way through a pair of bogeys on the back nine and holed a critical birdie on the 15th hole. Junior Diane Lim was playing in just her second tournament as a Rebel and her first in the counting five. She finished tied for 12th, tying her best collegiate finish. The Djursholm, Sweden, native posted four birdies in Round 3, including one on the treacherous 18th hole. She came back from a difficult Round 1 to go under par on each of the final two days. Sophomore Pi-Lillebi Hermansson was instrumental in the final two rounds as well. She edged her previous personal best of 215, set in her third-place finish in the season-opener at The Ocean Course Invitational. The Madison, Mississippi, native finished tied for fifth (69-75-70-214) for her second top-five finish in three collegiate tournaments. She picked up birdies on nine and 10 and strung together eight pars to finish the round at 2-under, the best score of the day for the counting squad. Ole Miss played to 4-under as a team on the front nine and added three more birdies on the 10th hole, though nerves set in late while Memphis narrowed the gap.įreshman Conner Beth Ball recovered from an over-par Round 2 to play a key role in sealing the team win. The Rebels brought a 12-stroke lead into the day and took to the tee box ready to close out a historic win. At 278-289-287-854, the Rebels finished just one stroke off the lowest three-round score in program history, and they set a new school record for the lowest score in a tournament victory, besting the previous mark of 885 set in 2001. 16 in program history and just the seventh in a 54-hole event.

It's something they're going to strive for each and every week and be disappointed if they don't get. It's going to show them that they can do this, that winning isn't unrealistic anymore. It's not only going to help recruiting-wise, but it's going to help the girls on the team now. "It hasn't happened in a couple of years now, and it's my first and coach Drew's first since we've been at Ole Miss. It still hasn't all sunk in," Henkes said. Johnson closed out Memphis sophomore Abby Herrmann in an intense two-hole playoff, and the co-host Rebels held off a strong Round 3 charge by the Tigers to secure a seven-stroke victory and a sweep of the inaugural Magnolia Invitational at Old Waverly Golf Club. Behind a nerve-wracking individual victory by freshman Julia Johnson, the Ole Miss women's golf team captured its first team tournament title under coaches Kory Henkes and Drew Belt.
