Avery Weed spoiled the Arkansas men and women teams’ hopes of sweeping the Blessing Collegiate Invitational.

Weed won the women’s individual title – the only title not won by an Arkansas golfer – with a 14-under par score after posting three-straights rounds in the 60s.

Weed's score of 14-under marks the lowest 54-hole score in the history of the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, besting the previous score of 11-under. In Mississippi State program history, it ties the third-best 54-hole score in program history.

Weed shot in the 60s in all three rounds of the Blessings. It was the first time that she has shot in the 60s in all three rounds of a tournament in her career. 

Weed becomes the second Bulldog to win the individual title at the Blessings, joining Julia Lopez Ramirez.

The Bulldogs will return home for their final tournament of the fall season, The Ally, at historic Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi on October 20.
