Lady Bulldogs Post Best Round Of Tourney, Help SEC Clinch Win
October 23, 2011 | Women's Golf
The conference competition featured 15 of Golf Stat's Top 25 teams in the nation, as well as seven of the Top 10 players
The Lady Bulldogs' 305 card in the final round was only eight shots more than second-ranked Auburn.
No. 6 Alabama used a 1-over-par 292 to clinch the team title after finishing second a year ago.
Stephanie Meadow of Alabama jumped to the top of the leaderboard individually on day one with a 4-under-par 68 and never relinquished her spot. She finished with a 5-under-par 211 clip
For MSU, freshman Ally McDonald's final-round 73 left her two strokes shy of a Top 25 finish. Her 4.50 scoring on par fives tied her for second overall in the tournament with Meadow.
Demonstrating the strength of this year's field, McDonald's 34th-place card tied her with Brooke Pancake of Alabama. Pancake is the fourth-ranked individual nationally.
Rica Tse chased McDonald with a 229, tying her best tourney score in the freshman's young career. Her five pars were only second to McDonald's nine.
Mary Langdon Gallagher and Perry Katherine Furr improved their cards each round and both turned in a 77 on Sunday, while Elena Warren rounded out MSU's board with a 247.
Mississippi State returns to action Oct. 31 in Austin, Texas, at the Texas-hosted Betsy Rawls Invitational. This will be MSU's first appearance in the event.
