History
History
The MSI dates back to 2015 - A 2v2, Minnesota vs Missouri experiment held in Minneapolis with matches at Rush Creek, The Meadows @ Mystic Lake, & the now shuddered Mississippi Dunes. There was no winner that year, no loser either. The entire 3 day competition is still under debate over the final putt, on the final hole, of the final round. Nevertheless, the MSI was born.
