BATON ROUGE, La. - The Ole Miss Rebels dropped four strokes to par on the 54th hole of the tournament to fall from first to third place, giving the UAB men's golf team the 2001 Country Club of Louisiana Intercollegiate title in thrilling fashion on Tuesday afternoon in Baton Rouge.
The Rebels counted a birdie, a par, and double and triple bogeys on the par-four, 414-yard 18th hole to fall from 10-under-par to six-under. The Blazers won the tournament by shooting a tournament-record eight-under 856 (284-283-289), one stroke better than Auburn which finished at seven-under 857.
The 18th hole was the most difficult during the three-round event with a 4.35 stroke average.
Individually, junior Graeme McDowell of the Blazer squad, who tied for seventh in last season's tournament, took medalist honors by shooting a 12-under 204 (70-66-68) and setting the tournament record by two strokes.
Junior Daniel Ozley fired a eight-under-par 208 (72-67-69) to tie for third for the Blazers.
Ole Miss finished third (858), North Florida was fourth (859) and LSU rounded out the top five (862).
The tournament wrapped up the fall season of play for UAB. The Blazers begin their spring schedule at the Gator Invitational Feb. 9-10, 2002, in Gainesville, Fla.
