Razorbacks Finish 4th; Put 2 in Top 10

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tyson Reeder finished third and Mason Overstreet eighth and the Arkansas men’s golf program shot a final-round, even-par 288 to place fourth with a total of 845 (277-280-288) at the 15-team Augusta Haskins Award Invitational, played at Forest Hills Golf Club (par 72, 7,005-yards).

Reeder’s third-place finish was his career-best and his second career top 10. He also posted career bests with a 54-hole score of 207 (64-70-73) and finishing 9-under par. In the final round, the junior was 4-over through 16 holes but rallied to finish eagle-birdie to card his 73 Sunday and third-place finish. Reeder’s 14 birdies over 54 holes were the third-best total in the field and his most over 54 holes in his career. Reeder additionally carded his team-best, fourth eagle of the season.

Overstreet was steady throughout the final round, recording 14 pars, a bogey and three birdies to post a 2-under-par 70. With his final-round performance, Overstreet moved up four spots to finish in a tie for eighth with a total of 210 (74-66-70). The junior now has 12 rounds of par or better this season with three top 10 finishes. The junior finished with 36 pars over 54 holes, the sixth-best total in the field and his second-best total of the season. Overstreet also had 12 birdies, tying for his second-best total of the season.
