JACKSON, Miss. – For the first time since late October, the Millsaps men's and women's golf teams will hit the course for their championship season on Monday in the Callaway Gardens Invitational in Callaway Gardens, Georgia.

On the men's side, the Majors bring a young but talented group into the season that already proved what they are capable of in the fall season. Freshman Tanner Tabor finished the fall on high note by winning the Chick-Fil-A Collegiate Invitational by shooting a 211 (-5) over the three rounds. Tabor finished in the top 25 twice in the fall and looks to continue that success into the spring season.

Also returning for the men are junior Connor Todd, sophomores Eli Freeman and Mills McClendon and freshman John Tompkins, Kyle Estay and Matthew Hendrickson.

After starting their season at Callaway Gardens, the men will compete at the Carey Classic in Hattiesburg, Miss on March 12th-13th and will finish the regular season at the Jekyll Island Invitational in Jekyll Island, Ga. on March 16th-18th. They will then compete in the SAA Championships in Dickson, Tenn. beginning on April 20th.

"I'm excited for the freshman", said head coach Jack Belote. "Our three lowest averages in the fall were all from freshman who now have experience and can improve on that. Tanner has a chance to be the newcomer of the year, it will be a big spring for him if he can finish strong. Also, we will look for contributions from everyone, and that will bring an extra element to the team and help us out."

As for the women, junior Andrea Vasquez made four top 25 finishes including placing tied for 12th place at the BSC Showdown. Senior Mattie Schwall and freshman Mariah Stewart also finished in the top 25 once in the fall.

Also looking to make an impact for the Majors is senior Alaina Thurber and freshman Cecilia Bruce.

The women begin their season at the Callaway Gardens on Monday. They then compete in the Lee and Joe Duncan Invitational hosted by Rhodes College on March 25th-26th before turning their attention to the SAA Championships in Dickson, Tenn. on April 20th.

"We are looking forward to keep developing over the spring on the women's side", said Belote. "We showed that we have what it takes to compete in the fall season and we are looking to build off of that and take it into the spring."
