FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Mississippi State men’s golf finished day 2 of the Blessings Collegiate Invitational in third, a five-spot jump from the end of the first round. The Bulldogs shot 3-under for the day, combining for 20 birdies or better.
“We did a much better job doing the simple things well today,” head coach Dusty Smith said. “I thought the guys really responded in a positive way after yesterday’s round. These guys are made of the right character and handled the day like I thought they would. Today was a total team effort. We had five guys in the round all day and were able to feed off each other.”
Ruan Pretorius shot 1-under, making five birdies as well as an eagle on the No. 10 hole. He is currently tied for sixth. Ford Clegg shot the lowest for MSU for the day with 70, sinking five birdies and finishing in the top 20 through the first two rounds.
William Wann sits in a tie for 22nd with Texas A&M’s Jamie Montojo. He finished his round at a stroke under par, making three consecutive birdies on the No. 8-10 greens.
Garrett Endicott shot 76 for the day and sits in a three-way tie for 29th. Hunter Logan shot 1-over and is in a four-way tie for 34th.
“Tomorrow is going to be a great opportunity for us,” Smith added. “It’s important we play Mississippi State golf and to our standard.”
