SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Missouri State women's golf team opened up a commanding lead Monday (Oct. 19) at the MSU/Payne Stewart Memorial at Twin Oaks Country Club.

The Missouri State White team is third with 334-316--650 and Drury turned in 333-327--660. This year's tournament was postponed from its traditional September date due to the Covid-19 pandemic and reduced from an original field of 17 down to four.
