Bulldogs Team Up For Blessings Collegiate Invitational

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Mississippi State men's golf returns to the Blessings Collegiate Invitational on Sept. 29-Oct. 1.

The Bulldogs have become accustomed to including the Blessings on their schedule. This year will mark the fourth-consecutive season that State has traveled to Fayetteville to play in the event. MSU has finished runners-up each of the last two years and notched a fifth-place showing in 2022. Last season, State boasted four players in the top 15 of the final standings.

Blessings Collegiate Invitational Team Lineup

Garrett Endicott (No. 1) – Senior – San Antonio, Tex.

Endicott enters The Blessings coming off a blazing start to the 2025-26 campaign. The senior built off a successful summer season with a ninth-place showing at the Carmel Cup in August. He put together three rounds of par or better at the famed Spyglass Hill Golf Course with a 4-under 68 to conclude the tournament.

His final round marked his 30th career round in the 60s, making him the third Bulldog in program history to accomplish the feat.

Endicott looks to find more success at The Blessings, where he finished 12th last season.

Ugo Malcor (No. 2) – Senior – Paris, France

Malcor began this season with a 19th-place finish at the Carmel Cup. He fired two rounds of par or better, finishing the event at even par. It is his fourth career top-20 showing in the Maroon and White, third in his last five starts dating back to last season.

He recently played in his home country's FedEx Open de France, marking his first start on the DP World Tour.

Last season, Malcor put together a seventh-place showing at The Blessings.

Dain Richie (No. 3) – Graduate – New Berlin, Ill.

Richie holds down the third spot this week in Arkansas.

He was one of the Bulldogs' most consistent players last season, leading the team with 20 rounds of par or better – tied for seventh in program history. His 71.97 scoring average ranked second on the team.

Richie compiled two top 10s and a team-best six top-20 finishes. He put together a stretch of four-consecutive top 20s and led the Bulldogs with a 15th-place showing at the NCAA Reno Regional.

Jackson Skinner (No. 4) – Freshman – Birmingham, Ala.

Skinner makes his second start in the Maroon and White following a solid commencement to his Bulldog career.

He placed inside the top 30 at the Carmel Cup in August that saw him fire a 2-under 70 in the opening round. He looks to continue building off a summer season in which he tied for 14th at the Alabama State Amateur and reached the final stage of U.S. Amateur qualifying.

Jackson Cook (No. 5) – Freshman – West Point, Miss.

Cook sees himself in the lineup for the second time this season after making his first career start at the Carmel Cup.

He finished runner-up at the Mississippi State Amateur and the Spirit of America Championship over the summer.
