Bulldogs Head To Mississippi Gulf Coast For Fallen Oak Collegiate

SAUCIER, Miss. – Mississippi State men's golf will head to the Mississippi gulf coast to co-host the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational.

"We are thankful to be a part of this event and to be a co-host this week," head coach Dusty Smith said. It's always great playing in your home state in front of fans that care about college golf and Mississippi State. We are prepared for the week and know we have great purpose this week.

"We need to have great intentions and maintain our playing focus throughout the week to give us the best opportunity to be successful this week."

The Bulldogs come into the Fallen Oak after a victorious performance at the Cullan Brown Collegiate last week. MSU fired the fourth-best opening round in program history at the Cullan Brown and claimed a one-shot triumph after the final round was canceled because of inclement weather.

This week's field is one of the best the Bulldogs will face this season, featuring six teams ranked in the season's first SCOREBOARD Top 25. State is joined by Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Tennessee from the SEC.
