Arkansas MGolf Plays Final Fall Event

FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas’ men’s golf program will play its third and final event of the fall season Nov. 8-10 at the 35th annual Jerry Pate National Invitational, played in Vestavia Hills, Ala., at Old Overton Country Club (par 70, 7,209 yards).

For the third consecutive event, the field will consist of all 14 SEC members with 18 holes being played each day (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday).

This will the 11th time – and the eighth consecutive year – Arkansas has played in the event. The event has been kind to the Razorbacks as graduate senior Mason Overstreet (2017) and junior Julian Perico (2018) won medalist honors in back-to-back years.

Perico’s win was a record-setting effort as he posted a school-record-low score of 197, winning by four strokes at 13-under par. It also ties for the second-lowest total in the history of the JPNI. Overstreet’s winning score of 200 was the second-best, 54-hole total in school history at the time and now ranks fourth. In four previous trips to the JPNI, Overstreet has three top -20 finishes.

Perico is coming off a win in his last outing, posting an impressive total of 199 at the Vanderbilt Legends Collegiate. Overstreet, Segundo Oliva Pinto, Tyson Reeder and Manuel Lozada will also be in the lineup.
