NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Mississippi State men's golf saw its 2021-22 campaign come to an end on Wednesday, as the Bulldogs missed the cut at the New Haven Regional.
"It certainly was not the week we wanted but I know we are going to take the positives from the week and learn how to handle this tournament a little better in the future," head coach Dusty Smith said. "Our guys never quit this season, and I could not be prouder of this team."
"I can't thank Benjamin Nelson enough for his dedication to this program," Smith continued. "We are certainly going to miss him next season. He made this program better. I know we are a hungry team that wants to take the next step. As a program, we gained our identity and built a culture that will last."
State finished the day with a team score of 280 for an overall 54-hole score of 860. MSU placed 11th for the event at the Yale Golf Course.
Ruan Pretorius paced the team throughout the regional and ended his NCAA debut with a 1-under score tied for 21st, his second-best finish of the season. Pretorius tacked on 13 birdies throughout 54 holes.
Hunter Logan and Harrison Davis both finished tied for 50th. Davis secured four birdies in the final round including a pair of back-to-back birdies on Holes 15 and 16, while Logan secured an eagle on Hole 16.
Ben Nelson, who substituted in for the last round of competition, shot 4-over for his final round in the Maroon and White. Ford Clegg rounded out scoring for the Bulldogs tied for 67th.
