PHOENIX – The 7th-ranked Mississippi State women’s golf team completed the final round of the 50th edition of the PING/ASU Invitational on Sunday. After the last 18 holes of the regular season, State finished fourth carding 4-Over Par (868).
State was led through the event from Papago Golf Club behind the play of Julia Lopez Ramirez and the continued spring success of Hannah Levi.
Lopez Ramirez sunk 12 birdies throughout the event (third most) to finish third. In the final round, Lopez Ramirez secured her 37th round of par or better golf in her young Bulldog career. Lopez Ramirez now has six top-five finishes in nine events played this spring and 13 overall in 21 career events.
Hannah Levi recorded her third straight round of 1-Over Par (73) golf in the final round to card 3-Over for the event (219) to finish tied for 21st. Levi has had a very successful second half of her last regular season as a Bulldog as she now has five straight top-25 finishes this spring.
Izzy Pellot answered firmly and showed resilience on Sunday, recording her best round of the event on Sunday. Pellot rolled in three birdies on Sunday to climb up the leaderboard 13 spots on the final day to tie for 27th with 4-over par.
Surapa Janthamunnee finished tied for 38th with a 6-over-par performance.
Quoting Head Coach Charlie Ewing
“All in all I’m really proud of the team. This was a successful week in so many regards and I certainly believe it prepares us for the post season coming up. Obviously, Julia had a really nice week to finish in the top-3 but the fight and resilience today was important for our team. That’s something that will benefit us a lot in the upcoming events. We do, however, know we have so much more in the bag than what we showed this week and I’m confident that we will structure a great plan for preparation coming out of this event. I’m nothing but excited going forward with the SEC Championship on the horizon.”
The Bulldogs will return to the course on April 12-16th for the SEC Championship from Birmingham, Ala. Future updates regarding the SEC Championship will be released at a later time.
