LEXINGTON, Ky. – Mississippi State men's golf took home the victory at the Cullan Brown Collegiate this week.

This marks the seventh victory under Dusty Smith and the program's fifth win since the 2022-23 season.

The Bulldogs completed round one on Monday before round two was suspended because of darkness. The second round was completed this morning with the final round being canceled because of inclement weather.

"I am really proud of the effort we showed this week," head coach Dusty Smith said. "We knew after the practice round that we needed to be disciplined and patient out there. We did that this week. It was a complete team effort, and I couldn't be happier for the guys.

"We were able to have great intentions for the week and a great playing focus. Like I said earlier this week, this event was much more than just a tournament to us, and I'm happy we were able to come out on top."

State compiled a two-round total of 11-under 557, besting host Kentucky by one shot. The Bulldogs' round-one score of 275 was the fourth-best first round in program history. MSU finished the event with a second round of 282.

Ugo Malcor led State with a score of 5-under 137, tying for 2nd place. He carded under-par rounds both days, starting with a 4-under 67 and concluding the event with a steady round of 1-under 70. It is Malcor's best finish as a Bulldog and his second top 10 this season.

Dain Richie followed right behind Malcor at 4-under 138 and a 4th-place showing. He carded a 4-under 67 in round one with an even-par 71 in round two. It is Richie's highest finish in the Maroon and White and the third top 10 of his MSU career.

Drew Wilson played steady golf in his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. The junior tied for 14th with a two-round total of 1-under 141. After an even-par 71 in round one, Wilson carded a 1-under 70 in round two to finish the event in red figures.

Garrett Endicott placed in a tie for 26th after two even-par rounds. Jackson Skinner rounded out the Bulldog contingent in 33rd place at 1-over for the tournament.

State will be back in action on October 18-20, as they co-host the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational at Fallen Oak Golf Club in Saucier, Mississippi. State joins Southern Miss and Ole Miss as tournament hosts.
