FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – All five Mississippi State men are among the top 20 at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational after Monday's opening round. The Bulldogs were one of two teams to shoot under par in the round, and they sit two strokes behind leader No. 15 LSU and 11 strokes ahead of third-place BYU.
Drew Wilson is tied for the individual lead after carding a 2-under 70. Dain Richie and Garrett Endicott are tied for seventh at even-par.
"We played really solid as a team today," head coach Dusty Smith said. "All guys were in their rounds and competing hard. We played a very disciplined round of golf on a very demanding golf course. I felt like everyone was patient and did a really nice job locking in on our process."
The day began with an eagle from Ugo Malcor, who is currently tied for 18th, on the No. 10 tee. Wilson picked up birdies on Nos. 12 and 15 but sat at 1-over at the turn. He fired an eagle on the fifth tee and finished his round with a birdie on the ninth hole.
Endicott carded par on every hole on the back nine before making the turn. He birdied the par-3 third hole, but bogeyed No. 8. Richie, Josep Serra and Malcor all picked up birdies on No. 6. Serra carded three birdies in his final nine holes. Serra is tied for 12th at 1-over, and Malcor is a stroke behind him.
The Bulldogs will tee off at 11 a.m. CT on Tuesday. Live coverage on the GOLF Channel begins at 3:30 p.m. CT, and live scoring for the Blessings Collegiate Invitational is available on Scoreboard powered by Clippd.
