2013 Heritage Cup

by Adam Scott, PGA

HUNTSVILLE, TX Late March in Southeast Texas brought cool temperatures and difficult wind, but the elements were not enough to stop Mississippi State over taking their 5th Heritage Cup title from Sam Houston State University.

The Bulldogs, led by Seniors Jay Rane and Nate DeBoer, won the event 13 to 9 in the second most lopsided victory in event history. “It was tough out there, but we got it done,” said Senior Jay Rane.

The 2013 Heritage Cup marked the 6th time the event has been played with MSU coming out on top 5 of those years, the only loss coming in 2009. The 2013 team consisted of 12 players from 8 different states and representing each class.

“Sam Houston always has great players and we embrace the challenge to compete with them each year,” said Director Jeff Adkerson, “We look forward to hosting them in Starkville in 2014.”

Each match result is listed on page 15.
