Why?
For Mississippi State women's golf coach Charlie Ewing and his team, it's a question that might never have an answer after the Bulldogs didn't get the chance to compete at the Baton Rouge Regional this week. The NCAA declared that The University Club course was "playable, but not at a championship caliber". As a result, the top six seeds at the event automatically advanced to the NCAA Championships. But as for everyone else, including State, those seasons came to an unceremonious end.
MSU came into the Baton Rouge Regional on the heels of a second-place finish at the Southeastern Conference Championships. It was the team's best-ever finish at the event. The Bulldogs went to Baton Rouge with a ton of momentum and high aspirations. They left with nothing but disappointment and questions after not getting to play any golf at all.
