College golf star learned at graduation ceremony that he's playing a PGA Tour event A former Michigan State golfer will be making a start on the PGA Tour this upcoming summer. After graduating from MSU this past weekend, Ashton McCulloch was given a surprise, presented by former Michigan State Athletics Director Mark Hollis. McCulloch was gifted a sponsor's exemption to play in the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. The tournament is Detroit's PGA Tour event, and will run from June 25-29. A native of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, McCulloch is a record breaker within the MSU golf program, holding the single-season record for scoring average. A champion of the Canadian Amateur, amongst other amateur championships in Canada, McCulloch is gearing up to make a run at a strong professional career. McCulloch has made two career starts on tour, playing in the 2024 RBC Canadian Open and the 2024 US Open. He did not make the cut in either event.

Spartans LHP Joseph Dzierwa named Big Ten Pitcher of Week again
It appears Michigan State baseball has a special one in Joseph Dzierwa. For a second straight week, Dzierwa has been named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week. The left-handed junior pitcher received the honor from the league on Monday afternoon. According to Michigan State Athletics, Dzierwa becomes the first Michigan State baseball player to earn a Big Ten weekly award of any kind in consecutive weeks in program history. Dzierwa racked up a career-high 12 strikeouts in 7.0 innings pitched in his second career start last week against Washington State. He surrendered only one hit and one walk, and those both came in the first frame. In two starts this season, Dzierwa has given up only two hits, two walks and zero earned runs across 13.0 innings pitched. He has recorded 23 strikeouts between the two starts. Michigan State baseball is off to a great start this year, with a 6-1 record thus far. The Spartans moved into the NCBWA (National College Baseball Writers Association) rankings this week (No. 23) for the first time since 2016.
