After shooting 17-under as a team through the three rounds, two players finished in the top 15, highlighted by freshman Garrett Endicott earning a runner-up finish.
Endicott shot 6-under in round three, putting him at 12-under for the tournament. He made six birdies, as well as an eagle on the No. 15 hole. His 54-hole score of 198 is tied for the lowest 54-hole total in Mississippi State men’s golf history.
