CARLSBAD, Calif. – After the third round of the NCAA Championships, the Mississippi State Bulldogs sit in 13th place at 21-over par. State will advance to Monday's fourth and final stroke play round as they made the 15-team cut.
Low scores were hard to come by on Sunday, as 22 of the 30 teams in the field finished 10-over par or higher on the round. The Bulldogs performed the best on the front nine of the course, as they finished 3-over as they carded 10 of their 16 birdies on that portion of the course. State enters Monday's fourth round 11 strokes behind the eight-team cutline.
The back-to-back SEC Individual Champion, Julia Lopez Ramirez, led the team on Sunday. Lopez Ramirez finished 1-over during the third round of play to move her total to 3-under par, the lowest score after 54 holes she has earned at the NCAA Championship. She carded a team-best five birdies on the day. She sits T10 headed into the final round of stroke play, nine strokes behind the leader from Texas A&M, Adela Cernousek.
Samantha Whateley made her NCAA Tournament debut in the third round and did not disappoint. In her first action since April 2, the freshman saw immediate success off the opening tee box, as she picked up two birdies throughout her first nine holes to start 1-under. Whateley finished her day alongside Lopez Ramirez at 1-over par, tying her third-best round of the season.
An NCAA Individual Champion will be named Monday during the final round of stroke play. Following Monday's fourth round, the second round of cuts will trim the field to eight. The final eight teams will compete in a match play tournament to decide a national champion.
The final stroke play round of the NCAA Championship will be broadcast on Golf Channel and Peacock beginning at 5 p.m. CT. Live scoring is also available at golfstat.com
