JACKSON, Miss. | Jackson State rising junior Maddy Beeching fired a final-round 1-under (71) to finish second following a four-hole playoff at the Mississippi Women's State Amateur at Patrick Farms on Thursday afternoon. 

Beeching entered the day down two strokes, but used a pair of birdies down the stretch after starting the day with nine straight pars to force a tie with Sydney Moss. She stormed back after an opening round 74 to finish the tournament at even par-216. Beeching birdied 12 holes in the three rounds, including seven in the second round to move into contention for the title.  

She finished two shots ahead of Harper Hinckley (Summitt) and three shots ahead of Rica Tse (D'Iberville), both of whom golf at Mississippi State.
