Bulldogs Finish Second at The Ally

WEST POINT, Miss. – The 2023 edition of The Ally concluded on Wednesday, leaving the Mississippi State Bulldogs with a second-place finish. The Dawgs had four golfers finish within the top-20.
 
Surapa Janthamunee was at the top of the leaderboard for the Dawgs throughout all three days of the tournament. Janthamunee walked off the course in second place, the best finish of her career. SJ picked up 14 birdies throughout the three-day tournament, which was the second-most in the field.

“The mental game worked well for me this week,” Janthamunee said. “I was able to keep myself in the position that I was supposed to be and was able to turn myself around when I needed to.”

 

Janthamunee’s previous best finish goes back to her second tournament as a collegiate golfer, where she tied for ninth. SJ also set a new career low 18 on day one, as she finished five-under par.

 

Avery Weed was able to secure her first career top-10 finish. The freshman used a one-under day on Wednesday to finish the tournament three-over par. Weed has now scored par or better in six of her 11 rounds played this season.

 

Izzy Pellot and Jarutrawee Khotchagrai both concluded the tournament with their best finishes of the year. The pair finished tied for 17^th at five-over par.

 

“I keep learning that this team knows how to fight and how to finish well, and I think that’s something they’re starting to learn a lot about themselves,” head coach Charlie Ewing said. “We’re really excited about the way this team is growing and we have really high expectations. We know every one of our eight players are capable and we look forward to seeing how we fare in the spring.”
