Kory Henkes

Kory Henkes was named Head Coach of the Ole Miss women’s golf team on June 22, 2015 and is entering her sixth season at the helm of the Ole Miss program in 2020-21.

Henkes led the program to a record-breaking season in year five, with four team tournament titles, setting the record for most wins in a single season. The team also led the SEC in scoring (284.22, -3.78) which broke the program record for single-round average for a season. She also earned her first honor as SEC Coach of the Year, with a trio of Rebels receiving all-conference honors.

At the Battle at the Beach, the team fired an 11-under 277 on the last day, the fourth-lowest single round total in program history, and to earn their third title of the season. Junior Julia Johnson shot a course record 61 in her final round, tying the NCAA record for lowest individual round, which had only been done three times before.

Johnson became the second Rebel in program history to earn All-American honors, as she was named second-team by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and third-team by Golfweek.

Senior Kennedy Swann claimed a first-place finish at the Illini Invitational at Medinah going 9-under (68-72-67-209) and earning second-team All-Conference recognition. Freshman Andrea Lignell was tabbed with all-freshman team honors after a stellar first season where she ranked fifth in the conference among freshmen in terms of stroke average (72.20), the third-lowest single-season stroke average in program history.

Ole Miss concluded the season with five players ranked in the top-10 in the SEC in scoring average, and nine top-ten finishes before the season was cut short due to COVID-19.
