STATESBORO, Ga. – Mississippi State men's golf continues the 2026 spring season at the Schenkel Invitational, hosted by Georgia Southern.

Forest Heights Country Club is the home venue for the event, playing as a 7,112-yard par 72.

The Bulldogs return to action for the first time since the Watersound Invitational in mid-February, where they finished ninth. It was State's fifth top-10 finish in as many starts this season.

Schenkel Invitational Team Lineup

Garrett Endicott (No. 1) – Senior – San Antonio, Tex.

Endicott holds down the one spot again, having finished in a tie for 14th in his most recent start at the Watersound Invitational. The senior carded a pair of rounds in the 60s, highlighted by an opening round of 3-under 67.

He has compiled four top-20 finishes in five starts, alongside two top 10s. His 11 rounds of par or better lead the team, and his final round of 69 at the Watersound moved him into a tie for second in program history for career rounds in the 60s.
