MSU Set To Tee Off Final Regular Season Tournament at LSU
Baton Rouge, La. – Entering the final leg of regular-season golf, the 11th-ranked Mississippi State women’s golf team heads south to compete in a challenging LSU Tiger Classic, starting Friday at 8:30 a.m.
Under the leadership of coach Ginger Brown-Lemm, the Bulldogs enter Friday’s first round having completed every tournament this year with a Top 10 finish. To date, this marks the best regular season of golf in MSU history.
“We are looking forward to this final regular-season event,” Brown-Lemm said. “The course is very difficult, along with an extremely talented field of competitors. We are confident in our abilities and expect to have a very successful weekend.”
The University Club course at LSU will play host to 16 teams, accompanied by 10 individuals.
Nine of the competing teams are currently ranked in the Top 50, with LSU being highest at sixth, according to Golfstat.com. LSU, Kentucky and Missouri join MSU as the only other SEC teams represented.
Live stats will be provided through Golfstat.com, with the three-day event concluding on Sunday.
In their last event at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate two weeks ago in Hilton Head, the Bulldogs finished 7th with a three-day total of 892. All-American senior standout Ally McDonald paced MSU with her 13th-place finish after firing a 73 in each of her three rounds.
Next up for Mississippi State following this weekend’s action are the SEC Championships, slated for April 17-19 at Greystone Country Club in Birmingham.
