ATHENS, Ga. — Postseason play begins this week as third-ranked Arkansas tees it up at the Southeastern Conference Championship in Hoover, Alabama, starting Wednesday.

Arkansas is having a record-setting season with five team titles and eight top-4 finishes. Junior Maria Fassi joined former Razorback Stacy Lewis as the only players in program history to win five or more titles in a single season.

Fassi was selected to the inaugural Palmer Cup Team (international) and is ranked No. 2 on the ANNIKA Award Watch List for the top player in college golf.

Fassi’s monster season doesn’t overshadow the balance that Arkansas has this year. Senior Alana Uriell and junior Dylan Kim are also playing well. Both players were selected to the Palmer Cup Team (USA) and both have been listed on the player of the year watch list.

This year’s SEC Championship field is loaded with some of the top teams in the country. Arkansas faces No. 1 Alabama for the fourth time this year and for the second consecutive week.

South Carolina begins the week at No. 10 followed by No. 13 Florida, No. 20 Auburn and No. 24 Vanderbilt inside the Golfstat.com Top-25.

This year’s championship format is updated to mirror the NCAA Championship. Teams will have three days of stroke play followed by two days of match play to crown the champion.
