Arkansas Moves Up Two Spots At Gator Invitational
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Arkansas men’s golf team saved its best round for last at the SunTrust Gator Invitational, firing a 2-under 278 on Sunday to move up two spots and finish T-8th at Mark Bostick Golf Course.
The Razorbacks ended the weekend with rounds of 286-283-278 – 847 (+7) to finish deadlocked with Georgia Southern in eighth place and one stroke back of No. 27 Missouri (+6). No. 5 Vanderbilt captured the team championship at 19-under, while No. 6 Florida finished runner-up on its home course at 9-under.
Senior Alvaro Ortiz continued to pace the Razorbacks, posting a final round 2-under 68 to finish T-12th overall at 3-under for the championship. He rolled in three birdies in each round for his fourth top 15 finish of the year, while his 39 pars were tied for the third-most in the field.
Sophomore Mason Overstreet carded a final round even-par 70 to finish 3-over for the tournament and T-30th overall. He recorded four birdies and four bogeys on Sunday and finished the event T-7th in total birdies with 12.
Tyson Reeder finished third on the team and T-40th overall at 6-over in his second tournament as a Razorback, while Luis Garza was one shot back of his new teammate at 7-over to secure a T-46th.
William Buhl (+13) finished T-68th overall, while Landon Ernst was T-75th in the field at 15-over.
