Bulldogs Set To Host Mossy Oak Collegiate
April 14, 2024 | Men's Golf
STARKVILLE – The No. 26 Mississippi State men's golf team is slated to close out the regular season by hosting the two-day Mossy Oak Collegiate on April 15-16. This is the third consecutive year that the tournament has been played as the Bulldogs' home event at the Mossy Oak Golf Club in West Point.
MSU will host a field of 13 other schools that includes No. 2 Auburn and in state rivals No. 5 Ole Miss and Southern Miss.
"We are excited to host this week," head coach Dusty Smith said. "I know the team loves playing at home in front of the home crowd."
The Bulldogs' starting lineup will consist of Hunter Logan, Garrett Endicott, Josep Serra, Harrison Davis and Drew Wilson.
David Beard, Alejandro Pedryc, Bo Blanchard, Ben Loveard, Alejandro Fierro, Pedro Cruz Silva, and Loic Ettlin, who is making his season debut, will compete individually alongside the starting five.
State has played strong in both previous iterations of the Mossy Oak Collegiate finishing third in both 2022 and 2023. At last year's event, the Bulldogs shot a school-record 265 in the second round, and finished 23 strokes under par.
Logan has shown he can be successful individually on his home course, having finished as the runner-up in back-to-back seasons. Last year, Logan shot a 12-under 204 and finished just one stroke back of the winners. Davis has also found success at Mossy Oak where in 2022 he shot his career-low to par round, shooting a 6-under 66.
"What a great opportunity in front of us this week," Smith added. "We need to be excited to compete this week and make sure we keep our mind focused on what we can control.".
The first and second rounds of the Mossy Oak Collegiate will feature a shotgun start at 8 a.m. CT. Round 2 will be played continuously after the completion of Round 1. Round 3 will follow on Tuesday morning beginning at 8 a.m. CT from the No. 1 and No. 10 tees.
