| Women's Golf: Bulldogs Win 2026 Mason Rudolph Championship | |
 | Mississippi State women's golf earned their first team title since the 2024 SEC Championship on Sunday as they took the 2026 Mason Rudolph Championship with a three-day total of 2-under par, beating out Arizona State and Florida by one stroke. The Bulldogs entered the final day of action in second place, three strokes behind the then leaders Florida, who were 8-under at the beginning of the day. The Dawgs put together a team performance to take the title, as all five State golfers finished inside of the top 20, while three finished inside the top 10. Samantha Whateley was the top Bulldog finisher at T5, her fourth career finish inside of the top five and her tenth inside the top 20. She was one of just eight golfers in the field to finish under par in the event. Whateley's finish of 3-under was her best finish since The Ally in October of 2025 and marked just her third career finish under par. Mississippi State will return to action for their annual home event, The Ally, hosted at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point. The tournament is set to kick off on Monday, October 5. |
