Mississippi State golfer Avery Weed won her third career individual tournament and the program’s second individual title of the season at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational this week.
Weed began the tournament with a remarkable score of 65, seven-under, in the first round, and finished strong with scores of 68 and 69 over the final rounds to finish at 14-under.
Her score marks the lowest 54-hole score in the history of the tournament, and ties the third-best in program history.
It was Weed’s first individual performance shooting in the 60s in all three rounds, making her the first Bulldog to win the Blessings Invitational since Julia Lopez Ramirez. They are also the only two winning golfers in the tournament’s history not to be part of the host team, Arkansas.
The Razorbacks won with a team score of one-under par, 29 strokes ahead of second-place Kent State and 36 ahead of the Bulldogs in third.
Weed was the only Bulldog to finish under par.
The Bulldogs will return to action at The Ally at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point for their final tournament of the fall on Oct. 20, a tournament Weed won last year.
