BELLEAIR, Fla. – The Mississippi State women's golf squad left nothing in doubt on Wednesday, as they finished the stroke play portion of the SEC Championship in fifth place. The Bulldogs, along with the rest of the top eight, will advance to the match play portion of the tournament.
The Bulldogs entered the day one stroke above the projected cut line of 8-over par. The team finished with the low round of the day at 6-under par and climbed from as low as T10 back to fifth. Chiara Horder and Izzy Pellot were a huge part of why State was able to make the jump back on top of the cut line and earn the best round of the day.
The duo of Horder and Pellot both finished with 3-under rounds, which was the best round of both golfers throughout the three rounds. After starting her day with a pair of bogeys through six holes, Horder finished her round six birdie, five of those coming in her last seven holes of the day. The score tied Horder's best round in relation to par during her two seasons as a Bulldog.
Pellot nearly finished the third round of the SEC Championship with a flawless card. The junior from Orlando picked up four birdies throughout the duration of the round and only carded a bogey on the 529-yard par-five 14th hole. This was Pellot's first under par round since the second round of the Chevron Collegiate, where she finished 4-under.
Avery Weed finished with her second round under par, shooting 1-under in the final round of action. The sophomore only needed two birdies in the round to achieve the mark, only carding a single bogey throughout the day.
The Bulldogs will enter match play as the fifth seed after finishing fifth in stroke play. They will match up with the fourth-seeded Ole Miss Rebels. Samantha Whateley will lead the Bulldogs off at 7 a.m. Full pairings can be found HERE.
The winner of the match between Mississippi State and Ole Miss will advance to the semifinal round, which can be streamed live on SECN+. The winners of the semifinals will advance to the championship match on Friday, which will broadcast live on the SEC Network.
