Arkansas opens play at Querencia Cabo Collegiate

LOS CABOS, Mexico — No. 19 Arkansas opened play in the 2018 Querencia Cabo Collegiate on Sunday and posted a 12-over 292 to sit tied for 11th at Querencia Golf Club.

In a loaded field that features 11 of the top 30 teams in the country, the Razorbacks are tied with No. 2 Vanderbilt and lead No. 5 Baylor and No. 14 Wake Forest. Top-ranked Oklahoma State has a five-shot lead on the field at 8-under, while No. 13 California is the only other team in red figures at 3-under.

In the field of 80 players, senior Alvaro Ortiz is tied for the most birdies with seven and leads Arkansas after a 1-over 72 in the opening round. He rolled in three straight birdies on the back nine and had a stretch of four birdies in a five-hole span.

Sophomore Mason Overstreet had a stellar back nine with a 4-under 31, including three straight birdies, but back-to-back double bogeys on the front side left him at 2-over for the tournament and T-26th overall.

Sophomore Luis Garza signed for a 3-over 74 after recording three birdies and six bogeys. He played the final seven holes at 1-under and enters the second T-41st overall.
