ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – On the second day of the 2015 SEC Championship, the Mississippi State men's golf team shot a 17-over-par round, placing 14^th heading into Sunday's final round.

“We just got nothing out of our short game today,” MSU coach Clay Homan said.

After shooting his 10^th under-par round of the season on Friday, Ben Wood followed it with a four-over-par 74 to tie for 41^st.

Australian native, Tim Walker, shot a second round 75 to tie him for 60^th in the tournament.

Freshman Johnny Newnham matched his first round total of 74 with another 74, to tie him for 62nd.

Joining Newnham in a tie for 62^nd, Ben Follett-Smith shot a 74 to match his first round 74.

Rounding out the Bulldog scorecard, Freshman Taylor Grant shot a second round of 76 to tie him for 65^th heading into Sunday's final round.

“We hit well enough to shoot close to par, but around the greens was poor,” Homan said.

South Carolina's Matthew NeSmith holds a one shot lead over Alabama's Robby Shelton, while No. 25 Alabama holds a five shot lead over No. 7 LSU going into Sunday's final round.

The Maroon & White tees off for the final time on Sunday at 7:10 a.m. CT. MSU is paired with Tennessee.
