Bulldogs Tee Off At NCAA Regional On Monday
May 16, 2021 | Men's Golf
CLE ELUM, Wash. – Mississippi State's men's golf program begins play at the Cle Elum Regional on Monday, May 17. State is playing in its 12th NCAA Championships, and it is the Bulldogs' third straight NCAA appearance along with the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Â
The Bulldogs are set to tee off on the 10th tee at the Tumble Creek Golf and Country Club at 10:55 a.m. CT.
Â
"We look forward to a great test this week," head coach Dusty Smith said. "The golf course is very good and will test our mental toughness and discipline. We have a lot of belief in each other and our ability to do our job at the highest level."
Â
The 14-team field in Cle Elum, Washington, consists of No. 7 Wake Forest, No. 8 Pepperdine, No. 17 Florida and No. 20 Arizona as well as San Francisco, Iowa, Washington, ETSU, Utah, Oregon, Long Beach State, Denver and Sacramento State. The top five teams after three days of play will advance to the NCAA Championships on May 28-June 2 at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Â
Veteran Garrett Johnson leads off for State out of the No. 5 spot. He will have played in each of MSU's three consecutive regional fields. William Wann and Austin Fulton will play out of the No. 4 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
Â
Hunter Logan, fresh off a 10th-place finish at the SEC Championships takes the No. 2 spot in the lineup, and First Team All-SEC selection Ford Clegg plays as the No. 1. Clegg also has postseason experience, playing in the 2019 Louisville Regional where he shot 3-over.
Â
State's highest Regional finish came in 2008, when the Bulldogs tied for fourth in the Chattanooga Regional.
