MEET THE REBELS


CoaChES & Staff

ErnESt roSSHeAD cOAcH | 16th seAsON | Ole Miss | 1974

In 16 seasons at Ole Miss, head coach Ernest Ross has led the Rebels to seven NCAA appearances, including a fourth place finish in 1985, the 1984 SEC Champion-ship, 27 regular-season tournament titles and two SEC Coach of the Year awards. In 2004, Ross returned to his alma mater and a program he once built to SEC and national prominence. After spending 16 years as the head professional at the Country Club of Jackson, Ross returned to his first love - coaching - and immediately set out to steer the Rebels back to the pinnacle of college golf. Since his return, the Rebels have made five NCAA Regional appearances, 11 All-SEC honorees and two All-Americans.

receNt sUccess Senior Joe David ended his career as an Ole Miss Rebel strong, earning 10 top 20 finishes, six in the top 10, and three in the top 5. His stroke average of 71.35, was the third lowest of all time in school history. David also recieved an individual invitation to the NCAA Athens Regional, cementing himself as one of the best in Rebel Golf history. Highlighted by a 3-under par in the second round, David went on to place T8th, barely missing the cut for the next round, giving him his sxith top 10 finish on the season. David particpated in a NCAA Regional Tour-nament all four years while at Ole Miss. David was also named to the PING All-Region Team for the second time in his career marking the fourth straight year that Ole Miss has had a golfer named PING All-Region. In 2011, Ross led Ole Miss to its fifth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance as the Rebels competed in the East Regional in Blacksburg, Va. David led the Rebels, tying for 10th at the regional. Mississippi native Jonathan Randolph ended his outstanding career earning All-SEC

honors for the second consecutive year. The 2010 season saw the Rebels compete in the NCAA Southeast Regional in Alpharetta, Ga. Randolph had a banner year on the course, becoming the ninth All-American in the history of the program and earning All-SEC first team honors. He ended the year ranked No. 6 in Golfweek. Randolph posted the lowest stroke average (70.44) in the SEC and in the history of Ole Miss men’s golf. In 2009, Ole Miss participated in the NCAA Central Regional in Bowling Green, Ky. They just missed out on advancing to the NCAA Finals, finishing sixth. Randolph tied for seventh to lead the Rebels and earned PING All-South Region honors along with David. David also earned All-SEC second team honors and made the SEC All-Fresh-man Team. Off the course, Stefan Strandlund earned Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Scholar hon-ors. In 2008, the Rebels qualified for the NCAA East Re-gional on the heels of capturing four tournament titles. Ole Miss made history on Oct. 23, 2007, winning the rain-shortened Mason Rudolph Intercollegiate (for the second year in a row), to become the first team in Rebel history to win three consecutive golf tournaments. The streak began with the Memphis Intercollegiate, followed by the Squire Creek Invitational. In the spring, the Rebels held off then No. 2 Georgia to capture the Linger-Longer Invitational at Reynolds Plantation. Jesse Speirs earned second team All-SEC honors and Randolph made the SEC All-Freshman Team. A highlight in 2008, the Rebels hosted the first annual BancorpSouth Intercollegiate at Reunion Golf and Country Club. The tournament was a success, and this year’s field will feature another strong regional field.

After a six-year absence from postseason play, Ross guided the Rebels to the 2007 NCAA East Regional and a fourth place finish at the SEC Championship. The team led the field after day one and ended up with their best finish in 19 years. Will Roebuck turned in the best showing for a Rebel at the SECs since 1996, with his fourth place ef-fort. Callum Macaulay earned All-SEC honors and led the Rebels in stroke average.

rOss retUrNs Soon after Ross’ return in the fall of 2004, the Rebels enjoyed one of the biggest turnarounds in school history. The improvement over the course of just one season was staggering and almost hard to believe. Just five months after finishing last at the SEC Cham-pionships, Ole Miss claimed its first tournament title since March 21, 1999, with a first-place effort (279-278-284--841) at the 15-team Raising Cane Classic in Hattiesburg, Miss. In Ross’ first season back, Jordan Dempsey regis-tered one of the most successful five-week periods of any individual in school history. Dempsey closed out the fall season in 2004 with a nine-under-par 207 (69-69-69) at the University Club Intercollegiate after posting four straight top-five finishes -- fourth at the Raising Cane Classic, second at the Mason Rudolph Championships, a tie for second at the Memphis Intercollegiate and a tie for third at the Gary Koch/Cleveland Golf Intercollegiate. Dempsey did not stop there as he went on to earn All-SEC first team honors and was selected to play in the NCAA East Regional as an individual. He concluded the 2004-05 season with the lowest stroke average in the SEC at 71.47. In 2005-06, the Rebels won three tournaments,

ross’ 16 years as a head coach in the sec rank as the second most behind Florida coach Buddy Alexander (25 years).

including the Squire Creek Invitational, the Magnolia Cup and the USA Spring Classic.

BUilDiNG tHe FOUNDAtiON A native Mississippian, Ross played for the Rebels in the 70s and later became the head coach in 1979. In his first stint with the Rebels (1979-87), Ross produced great results. After the Rebels finished ninth at the SEC Champion-ships during his first season, Ross guided Ole Miss to a second-place effort in 1982 and the conference crown in 1984. Ross was named SEC Coach of the Year in both ̀ 82 and ‘84. Under his guidance, the Rebels made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 1984 and 1985. The ‘85 campaign ended with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Ross also led the Rebels to 16 regular-season tournament titles during his first stint in Oxford. Several individual accomplishments were also seen during Ross’ first eight seasons at Ole Miss. Randy Wat-kins (1982), Dave Peege (1984 & 1985) and Darren Cole (1984 & 1985) earned All-America honors. Peege also picked up SEC Player of the Year accolades in 1984, while Peege and Cole were named Co-Players of the Year in 1985.

plAYers AcHieVe sUccess AFter Ole Miss Many of Ross’ players have gone on to experience success in both the amateur and professional ranks. Vance Veazey, who played for Ross in the late 80s, earned his PGA TOUR card for 2010 after finishing among the top 25 on the Nationwide Tour in 2009. He won the first event (Panama Digicel Championship) of the year on the Nationwide Tour and posted three top-10 finishes. Callum Macaulay finished up his career at Ole Miss in 2007 and enjoyed a highly-successful amateur career

before turning pro. Macaulay made it to the semifinals of the 2007 British Amateur, considered the top amateur tournament in Europe, and won his first ever national championship, capturing the 2008 Scottish Amateur. He won the Scottish Golf Order of Merit in 2007, and was ranked among the top 20 in the World Golf Amateur Rank-ings. In the fall of 2008, he helped lead Scotland to their first ever World Amateur Team Championship. Macaulay qualified for the 2009 European Tour and earned a career-best second-place finish at the Madeira Islands Open BPI, narrowly missing the win. More recent former Rebels have competed in the U.S. Amateur, including Jonathan Randolph and Joe David, who both qualified in 2009. Randolph advanced to match play. Chip Sullivan, the director of golf at Hanging Rock Golf Club in Salem, Va., won the 2007 PGA Club Profes-sional National Championship and helped the United States reclaim the PGA Cup later that year. In the sum-mer of 2008, he became the first reigning PGA Profes-sional National Champion to compete in the Japan PGA Championship, where he tied for 18th. Sullivan has also competed in several PGA Tour events that season. Since turning professional in 1987, Sullivan has won more than 80 PGA-sanctioned events. Jordan Dempsey won his first pro title in 2007, claiming the NGA Hooter’s Buffalo Run Casino Classic. In 2008, Chris Rogers qualified for the PGA TOUR’s Stanford St. Jude (Memphis, Tenn.) and just missed making the cut. In May of 2009, Rogers captured the Walnut Creek Cham-pionship of the eGolf Professional Tour. Mississippi native Kyle Ellis earned his first professional victory in the sum-mer of 2010, capturing the NGA Hooter’s Chattahoochee Hospice Classic.

“Coach Ross is the best college golf coach in the country. It takes time to build a program and there is no doubt in my mind that he will have the Rebel program back in the top 20. I always knew he cared about me. It’s been 23 years since I left Oxford, and I am still getting calls from him to make sure that me and my family are doing well. I could only hope that if my two sons play a sport on the college level that they have a coach half as good as Coach Ross.”

“My entire outlook on the game of golf, and the golfing lifestyle changed drastically after I met Coach Ross. Transferring to Ole Miss from the University of Houston, I was in the mindset that there was nothing in life more important than golf. Coach Ross quickly taught me that golf is a game of balance, and only when each area of my life is disciplined and in harmony, in addi-tion to my hard work on the course, then would my game fall into place. It may have taken me awhile to fully understand his teachings, but now I credit a huge part of my golfing success, as well as my success as a husband and father, to him. My respect for Ernest Ross as a coach, as a fellow PGA Professional, and as a genuinely devoted human being, is unending.”

Tournament Director for the Viking Classic (formerly the Southern Farm Bureau Invitational), the PGA Tour event in Mississippi ... 1982 All-American ... 1982 SEC Medalist ... All-SEC in 1982 and 1983.

“Coach Ross is one of the finest coaches in the country. He is a dedicated teacher and a perfectionist that understands the differences in all his players. He is always searching for new ways to help his players become better golfers, students and young men. He has had a great impact on my life as he has helped teach me the value of hard work and dedication. He is a tremendous asset to Ole Miss and will always field a team that is competitive and representa-tive of our fine University. I am proud now to call him my friend and also proud to encourage all young golfers and their parents to call Ole Miss home.”

callum MacaulayEuropean Tour professional ... All-SEC in 2007.

“Coach Ross has done an amazing job. He’s got great ambition, and I think it’s carried over to the team and the facilities. He came here with a plan, he knew what he wanted to do, and he’s managed to do it. He’s a really positive person, and if he wants something done, that’s what he’ll do.”

“I really love Coach Ross. He’s done a great job with all the facilities up here. When he was recruiting me, he was building a new driving range. He’s gotten us a new chipping area, put-ting area and a sprinter van. I got on board with someone who loved golf as much as I did and wanted us to get better. He’s doing everything he can to facilitate me getting better and moving on to the next level. It was the best fit for me.”

When Ole Miss head coach Ernest Ross was in search of a new assistant coach two years ago, he want-ed someone that could help take the team to the next level. He found that man in Jack O’Keefe, who brought with him a wealth of experience as a player at the highest level, in addition to his coaching credentials. O’Keefe is in his third year with the program after coaching the University of Central Arkansas golf team from 2007-10. In his first season with the Rebels, O’Keefe helped guide the team to its fifth consecutive NCAA Regional ap-pearance. He helped coach All-American Jonathan Ran-dolph to another All-SEC season. While at Central Arkansas, O’Keefe helped the Bears jump up in the rankings from 139th at the begin-ning of the 2009-10 season all the way to 63rd in the year end Golfweek poll. O’Keefe guided Central Arkansas to a runner-up finish in the Southland Conference in 2010 and placed all five players on the All-Southland Confer-ence Team (the only team to have five players make All-Conference). During the last four seasons, O’Keefe’s teams won seven team tournaments (four in the 2009-10 season), and had six individual medalists. Prior to coaching at Central Arkansas, O’Keefe was the head golf professional at Hot Springs Country Club in Hot Springs, Ark. While at Hot Springs Country Club, O’Keefe directed over 200 tournaments annually and

also taught over 400 lessons each year. He also directed the junior golf camps each year with over 60 juniors par-ticipating each summer.

“We’re very excited to have Jack O’Keefe as part of our program. He brings great credentials to the job with TOUR experience and teaching ability. He did an oustand-ing job while at Central Arkansas, and is already making an impact with us.” -- Head Coach Ernest Ross

O’Keefe played professionally for 10 years all over the world. His highlights included earning his PGA Tour card in 1997 (175th on Official PGA Tour Money List), competing in the U.S. Open in 1996 at Oakland Hills (72-71-76-76), competing on the Nike Tour in 1996 (15th on Official Nike Tour Money List), 1995 Player of the Year honors on the Hooters Tour ($100,000 Bonus), 1995 International Rookie of the Year, and 1994 Australasian Tour Rookie of the Year (19th on Official Australasian Tour Money List). An accomplished college golfer at the University of Arkansas, O’Keefe was a four-time All-American, two-time All SEC performer, All SWC performer and had three indi-vidual victories as his teams at Arkansas won 10 team

tournament titles his last two years. O’Keefe specializes in course management, short game fundamentals, golf swing analysis and player devel-opment. Other responsibilities include recruiting, sched-uling of practices, and academic support and supervi-sion. O’Keefe graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Industrial and Technology Education. O’Keefe and his wife Susan, have four children, Lucy, John Freeman, Henry and Hogan.

From an early age, Dr. Dan-iel W. Jones knew his career aspi-rations revolved around medicine and leadership. And while a phy-sician leading a comprehensive university isn’t a common ar-rangement, Jones’ appointment as the 16th chancellor of the University of Mississippi is no surprise to anyone familiar with

his record of leadership and achievements at the UM Medical Center in Jackson and the American Heart As-sociation. Jones became chancellor on July 1, 2009, and over-sees the campuses in Oxford, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo and Grenada. Vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine since 2003, Jones served as the Medical Center’s chief executive officer, overseeing five schools and the health system. Under his leadership, UMMC restructured its clinical enterprise to create a more agile, market-responsive organization focused on quality, efficiency and clinical leadership. The work resulted in a turnaround in financial performance and selection as one

of the Thomson Top 100 Hospitals in America. Jones’ leadership team also expanded the Medi-cal Center’s commitment to minority scholarships, rural medicine and the elimination of health disparities. Enroll-ment of underrepresented medical students increased 80 percent in five years. They also led a campaign that raised $53 million, expanded the medical school’s class size from 100 stu-dents to 120 students per class and reorganized the medical faculty clinical practice plan from 17 individual practice groups to a single, unified one, facilitating more efficient management and improved patient care. Under his watch, the Medical Center’s research en-terprise has been reinvigorated with completion of the Arthur C. Guyton Research Center, acquisition of funding for a research park and increased research funding. A native Mississippian, Jones graduated from Mis-sissippi College in 1971, earned his M.D. in 1975 at UMMC and completed his residency in internal medicine there in 1978. He had a private practice in Laurel, then went to Korea as a medical missionary in 1985. He returned to the UM Medical Center as a faculty member in 1992 and was named the school’s Herbert G. Langford Professor of Medicine in 1998. He directed the

hypertension division and led many clinical studies funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of health. He played a crucial role in the acquisition of funding from NHLBI to create the Jack-son Heart Study and was its first principal investigator. As the only large scale study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, Jones had to overcome the under-standable reluctance of African Americans to participate in research and to build consensus among the three par-ticipating institutions - Jackson State University, Tougaloo College and UMMC. Neither had ever collaborated in such a massive undertaking. The chancellor began volunteering for the American Heart Association 20 years ago and became its national president in 2007-2008. He was one of the early voices in AHA leadership to call attention to the growing problem of childhood obesity and heart disease in women. He was AHA’s national spokesperson on high blood pressure. Jones is married to Lydia Channell Jones, also a Mississippi College graduate. They have two children, Jen-nifer Jones Flechas of Oxford and Jason Jones of Clinton.

roSS BJorK | athlEtICS dIrECtor Ross Bjork was announced on

March 21, 2012 as the seventh full-time Director of Athletics at Ole Miss. Bjork, 39, arrives in Oxford as the youngest AD among BCS schools and comes off a successful stint in that post at Western Ken-tucky University.

Bjork has set the tone early in his Ole Miss tenure, hiring one of the country’s top rising coaches in

Brian O’Neal (track and field) in just the first two months on the job. He also appointed three executive level administra-tors for external relations, academic support and facilities/game operations. The external relations post was a new umbrella position at the center of Bjork’s reorganization of that area of Ole Miss Athletics, including the UMAA Foundation, ticket operations, marketing and communications and the relationship with Ole Miss Sports Properties. He also created the unit for Health and Sports Performance, which combined sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition and counseling services and added a local orthopedic sports medicine component that will provide primary sports medicine care for all student-athletes. Bjork’s vision in facilities has resulted in a development plan for the Indoor Practice Facility. New projects began in the fall and include a full service dining facility, football team meeting room, player lounge and visuals throughout the complex. Bjork’s first full week at the post was spent on the Rebel Road Trip, a six-day, 16-stop tour of the region that served to unite the Rebel fanbase. He carried that momentum into the launch of a major sales campaign for football season tickets, which included television and radio advertising, billboards, internet marketing and a new outbound telemarketing call center. At WKU, Bjork spent significant time with all head coaches to evaluate and understand the necessary ingredients it

takes for each sport to reach their maximum potential ath-letically and academically. He oversaw an extensive search process that resulted in Matt Myers being named WKU’s new head baseball coach in July of 2011, and groundbreaking is anticipated in the summer of 2012 for major facility upgrades for WKU’s tennis and track and field programs. After Bjork made a midseason coaching change, the Hill-topper men’s basketball team went on to capture the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Women’s Volley-ball won the conference regular season and tournament in 2011 and reached the NCAA tournament each of the last two years, while men’s and women’s cross country each won conference team titles in 2011. Women’s swimmer Claire Do-nahue finished second in the nation in the 100 yard butterfly, the highest finish in the program’s history, and then won a pair of gold medals at the 2011 Pan American Games to become the only WKU athlete to ever claim Pan Am gold. WKU’s football program posted the greatest one-season improvement in conference wins in the history of the Sun Belt in posting a 7-1 league mark and second-place confer-ence finish. WKU football also signed the conference’s top recruiting class each of the last two seasons. WKU’s soccer program also reached the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship game in 2011 before falling in overtime in their bid to achieve the program’s first ever NCAA Tourna-ment berth. Operating at full speed immediately after being hired at WKU, Bjork immediately created full time coaching positions for both men’s and women’s golf, implemented a strategic budgeting process, started a master facility plan, restruc-tured several key administrative units and created a new mission statement and core values to guide the athletics pro-gram. He also led the “Toppers on Tour” caravan each sum-mer, in which coaches and administrators from the WKU ath-letic department visit six cities outside of the Bowling Green area in a 19-day span covering over 1,000 total miles. His team also launched the Power of One membership campaign to accelerate growth for the Hilltopper Athletic Foundation

and a new telemarketing program for ticket sales also saw immediate success in new customers for WKU Athletics. Bjork placed a high priority on academic success at WKU and led the creation of a comprehensive academic reten-tion plan for the athletics department, which is geared to proactively impact all incoming student-athletes. Each of WKU’s men’s and women’s athletic teams exceeded the NCAA required 925 Academic Progress Report Rate (APR), and WKU had more individuals honored for their academic achievements by the Sun Belt Conference than any other in-stitution in 2011-12. For the first time in program history, the overall cumulative average GPA was over 3.0 for all 391 student-athletes and 228 maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Ten of the university’s 15 athletic programs posted a cumulative team GPA of 3.0 or better. The youngest athletics director of the 120 NCAA FBS pro-grams when hired at WKU, Bjork has an extensive career in intercollegiate athletics with two decades of experience as an administrator and student-athlete, having worked on the se-nior staffs at UCLA, the University of Miami and the University of Missouri. He began his administrative career at WKU as an Assistant Development Coordinator in 1996-97. Bjork has also served as Campus Recreation Graduate Assistant and Athletic Department Volunteer at Western Il-linois University, Marketing Intern for the University of Tulsa, Front Office Intern for the Albuquerque Dukes and Student Volunteer for Athletics at Emporia State University. Bjork is a native of Dodge City, Kan., and received his bachelor’s degree in recreation administration from Emporia State University in 1995 where he was a two-year starter at fullback. He earned a master’s degree in athletic administra-tion from Western Illinois University in December 1996. Bjork is respected nationally by his peers and is Past-President of the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD). He and his wife, Sonya, have two boys: Payton (6) and Paxton (1).

ALL-AMERICANS

CARY MIDDLECOFF • 1939

Cary Middlecoff distin-guished himself as the great-est golfer in Ole Miss his-tory and one of the best the Mid-South has ever known. Middlecoff was Ole Miss’ first golf All-American in 1939. He entered the PGA Tour in 1947, and from 1947 to 1961, Mid-dlecoff won more than 40 tour events and about $250,000. He finished runner-up on the money list four times. Middle-

coff won the 1949 and 1956 U.S. Opens and the 1955 Masters. In 1974 Middlecoff was inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame. He became the 48th member of the PGA/World Golf Hall of Fame in 1986. After retiring from competition, Middlecoff spent 15 years as a network television golf commentator. Middlecoff died Sept. 1, 1998 of heart failure at the age of 77.

Randy Watkins enjoyed a fine career for the Rebels from 1980-83, earning honorable mention All-America status in 1982. He captured medal-ist honors in helping lead Ole Miss to a second-place finish at the SEC Championships in 1982. Watkins picked up first team All-SEC honors in 1982 and 1983. He is tied with four other players for the low-est three-round score in the

history of Ole Miss men’s golf, and ranks second in tournament victories, with four. A former member of the PGA Tour, Watkins owns and operates two golf courses in Mississippi. He currently serves as Tournament Di-rector for the Viking Classic (formerly the Southern Farm Bureau Invitational), the PGA Tour event in Mississippi.

Dave Peege earned first team All-American honors in back-to-back years (1984-85), while helping lead the Rebels to unprecedented heights. As a sophomore in 1983, Peege was selected to the All-SEC first team and took medalist honors at the SEC Championships. In 1984 Peege helped lead the Rebels to the SEC Championship and the team’s first ever NCAA

Championship appearance, while earning SEC Player of the Year honors along the way. His senior season, Peege was named SEC Co-Player of the year with teammate Darren Cole and helped lead the Rebels to their best finish (fourth) ever at the NCAA Championships.

Darren Cole picked up honorable mention All-Ameri-ca honors in 1984 and made the second team in 1985. He was a member of the 1984 SEC Championship team as well as consecutive NCAA Teams in ‘84 and ‘85. Cole was the SEC Co-Player of the Year in 1985 with teammate Dave Peege. He earned All-SEC first team honors in 1984 and ‘85 and second team

honors in 1986. He ranks first in the Ole Miss record books with 26 top-10 finishes in his career and second with 16 top-five showings. His 71.70 stroke average in the 1984-85 season ranks as the third best all-time.

Lan Gooch arrived at Ole Miss in the fall of 1985, and it wasn’t long before he became a part of history with the Rebel golf team. In his first year, the team finished fourth at the NCAA Championships. Gooch is one of 11 Rebels to compete in the NCAA Cham-pionships as an individual. An All-SEC selection in 1987 and 1988, Gooch was also named an Honorable Men-tion All-American following his

senior campaign in 1988. That season, he also claimed medalist honors at the SEC Championship. Following his collegiate career, Gooch continued playing, qualifying for the PGA Tour in 1998. Gooch is currently the head pro at the Natchez Trace Golf Club in Saltillo, Miss.

Brian Rowell lettered four years for the Rebels in the middle 90s, and had his best season in 1995, earning hon-orable mention All-America honors. He qualified for the NCAA East Regional and just missed making the NCAA Championships. Rowell, an All-SEC first-team selection, won one title and had seven top-five finishes that year while closing with a 72.52

stroke average. He followed up the ‘95 campaign with his second consecutive trip to the NCAA East Regional, concluding the season with five top-10 and seven top-20 finishes. Rowell earned All-SEC honors for the second year in a row after finishing as the runner-up at the SEC Champi-onships.

Jon Bartlett spent two years with the Rebels in 1999 and 2000 and led the team to consecutive NCAA appearanc-es. Bartlett earned honorable mention All-America honors in 2000 as well as All-SEC acco-lades. He finished the season with four top-five, eight top-10 and 11 top-20 finishes. Bartlett advanced to the NCAA Championships in 2000 as an individual and shot a career-

best 66 in the second round on his way to a tie for 24th. He finished with a 71.77 stroke average for the season and ended the year ranked No. 29 by Golfweek.

Jordan Dempsey played three years for the Rebels and turned in one of the finest seasons in Ole Miss history, earning honorable mention All-America honors in 2005. He finished that season with the lowest stroke average in the SEC at 71.47, which still ranks as the second lowest ever at Ole Miss. Dempsey, who earned All-SEC first team honors, qualified for the 2005

NCAA East Regional as an indi-vidual. He won his first ever professional title in 2007, capturing the NGA Hooter’s Tour Buffalo Run Classic in Miami, Okla.

Jonathan Randolph be-came the ninth All-American in the history of the program in 2010, earning first team honors from the Golf Coach-es of America Association (GCAA) and Golfweek. He is the second first team All-American in the program’s history. Randolph produced one of the best seasons in Ole Miss history, finishing with the lowest stroke aver-age (70.44) in a season by a

Rebel and ending the year ranked No. 6 nationally. He earned first team All-SEC honors and led the league in stroke average all season. Randolph won three times in 2010 and posted eight top-five finishes, including third at the SEC Championships and the NCAA East Regional. In addition, Randoph was selected to the All-Nicklaus Team and was a member of the winning United States Palmer Cup Team.

HISTORY & RECORDS

Cary Middlecoff, a Memphis, Tenn., native, distinguished himself as the great-est golfer in Ole Miss history and one of the best the Mid-South has ever known. Middlecoff was Ole Miss’ first golf All-American in 1939. Middlecoff earned his dental degrees and was part of the Army Dental Corps in World War II. During a military leave in 1945, the 23-year-old Army Lieutenant left his mark on the golfing world when he won the North-South Open in Pinehurst, N.C. He was the first and only amateur ever to win that event when it was part of the the PGA tour. After leaving the military at the rank

of Captain, Middlecoff went to work in his father’s dental office in Memphis. He never intended to make a career out of professional golf, but his father, Dr. H.F. Middlecoff, encouraged him to make a living playing golf. He entered the PGA tour in 1947, and from 1947 to 1961, Middlecoff won more than 40 tour events and about $250,000. He finished runner-up on the money list four times. In his first season, Middlecoff won the Charlotte Open and collected $2,000, a huge paycheck for that era. Middlecoff went on to win $10,000 that year. The rest of the story is history. Middlecoff won the 1949 and 1956 U.S. Opens and the 1955 Mas-ters. He was runner-up in the 1957 U.S. Open and finished second twice in the Masters, 1948 and 1959. Middlecoff just missed winning the 1955 PGA Championship as he was edged out by Doug Ford. Middlecoff’s best year came in 1955 when he won six titles (The Masters, Crosby, St. Petersburg, Western, Miller Open and Cavalcade of Golf) and was the second leading money earner. He also finished second on the money list in 1949, 1951 and 1952, captured the Vardon Trophy in 1956 with a 70.35 stroke average and competed on winning Ryder Cup teams in 1953, 1955 and 1959. In 1974, Middlecoff was inducted by the PGA of America (in conjunction with golf writers and a panel of other experts) into the PGA Hall of Fame. He became the 48th member of the PGA/World Golf Hall of Fame in 1986. Middlecoff was one of the first inductees into the PGA Hall of Fame along with Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Gene Sara-zen. His induction ceremonies were appropriately conducted at Pinehurst, N.C., the new home of the Golf Hall of Fame and the golf resort where he won his first professional tournament. In 1990, Middlecoff became a member of the Tennessee Golf Hall of Fame and in 1996 was selected to the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. After retiring from competition, Middlecoff spent 15 years as a network television golf commentator. Middlecoff died Sept. 1, 1998, of heart failure at age 77.

Middlecoff was inducted into the PGA/World Golf Hall of Fame following a career of more than 40 tour wins that included: the 1955 Masters and two U.S. Open titles (1949, 1956). He was also a member of three winning Ryder Cup teams (1953, 33 and 59).
