ORLANDO, Fla. – The Mississippi State Bulldogs shot the sixth lowest second round in program history on Tuesday, as State finished 7-under par to bring their two-day total to 12-under.

Chiara Horder and Samantha Whateley starred for State. Even though the start of the round was delayed an hour and forty-five minutes, the two remained locked in. Horder went throughout the entirety of the round without a blemish on her card, as she knocked down three birdies to finish 3-under. Whateley also finished the day 3-under but carded four birdies to Horder's three.

Izzy Pellot fired her second straight under-par round on Tuesday. After making the turn at 3-over par, Pellot would pick up four birdies throughout her last nine holes to finish her day at 1-under. Ana Pina Ortega followed a similar route as well. She carded four birdies in her last six roles to climb back to even par.

As a team, the Bulldogs finished the second round 12-under as a team. With an expected delay in the start time for round three, the Bulldogs began the third round until it was postponed due to darkness. In the six holes that were played, Pellot and Pina Ortega sat at 2-under in that third round after collecting two pairs of birdies. Horder grabbed a birdie as well as she will be 1-under in the third round at the resumption of play.

The final round of the PDI Intercollegiate will resume Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. CT. Live scoring for the tournament is available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
