The event was the spring opener for the Razorbacks and featured 10 of the top 16 teams in the country. Due to inclement weather, the scheduled three-day event was condensed t two with 30 holes being played Friday and 24 holes played Saturday to complete the 54-hole event.

Julian Perico led the Razorbacks for the event. The junior shot a 5-under-par 65 in the opening round and finished the tournament with a pair of even, par rounds of 70 – thanks to birdies on two of his last three holes – to tie for 18th (205). It is Perico’s third top 20 finish in four events this season and he has shot par or better in eight of his 12 rounds.

Segundo Oliva Pinto was 2-under through 36 holes with back-to-back rounds of 69 to start the tournament. He carded a 3-over 73 in the final round to tie for 57th at 211. William Buhl, playing his first event of 2020-21 due to a back injury in the fall, bounded back from a 3-over-par 73 to close out round two to shoot a 1-under 69 in the final round. Overall, his 54-hole total was 213 (+3) and he tied for 77th.
