FAYETTEVILLE — Third-ranked Arkansas tees it up for the final regular season event traveling to the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in Athens, Georgia, on, April 13-14.
The event has been on the Razorbacks’ schedule since the first year of the program in 1996 and is one that has a personal connection for Arkansas head coach Shauna Taylor as she returns to her alma mater for the competition.

The format gets a makeover for this year’s event. In recent years, the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic featured one round of stroke play followed by match play in an effort to mirror the NCAA Championship.
The tournament was scheduled to be a three-day stroke play event this year but forecasted weather has changed that as well. Teams will play two rounds on Friday beginning with an 8:45 a.m. shotgun start.
The final round will be played on Saturday beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Arkansas headlines the 11-team field and is ranked No. 3 in both the Golfstat and Golfweek polls.
The Razorbacks have five team titles this season paced by junior Maria Fassi who has five individual wins. Top-ranked Alabama and No. 5 Duke are also in the field along with three Southeastern Conference teams.
Fassi is in the midst of a record-setting season. She is just the second student-athlete in program history to win five or more events in a single season, joining former world #1 Stacy Lewis with that distinction.
Fassi has played her way to a 514-15 win-loss record and is ranked No. 2 in both the Golfstat and Golfweek player rankings.
Senior Alana Uriell and junior Dylan Kim have also had great seasons. Uriell has counted every round toward the team’s total score and is second with a 71.10 stroke average.
She trails Fassi who leads the team with a 69.33 mark. Kim is third on the team with a 71.38 stroke average.
Uriell was Arkansas’ top finisher at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational and Kim has four top-5 finishes this season.
Kaylee Benton and Maria Hoyos round out the Razorback lineup while Cara Gorlei will tee it up as an individual in Georgia.
