HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Sixth-ranked Arkansas used an even-par 71 from senior Kaylee Benton to spur a move up the team leaderboard to finish seventh at the Darius Rucker Invitational at Long Cove Club on Sunday afternoon.

The Razorbacks began the day in 11th place but fired a 295 as a team to move up four spots. Benton was solid all day, turning in a one-under, bogey-free 35 on the front nine followed by a 36 on the back nine to finish with an even-par 213 over three rounds and tied for fifth overall.

Benton’s lone hiccup came on the par-four 11th when she carded a triple bogey but the Arizona native battled back to birdie the par-five 13th and par-four 18th.

Benton’s 71 was joined by Maria Fassi’s 72, Cara Gorlei’s 75 and Grace St-Germain’s 77 in the final round. Dylan Kim carded a team-high four birdies on the back nine but shot 78 on the afternoon.

No. 19 Florida State finished off a team victory as the only team to finish the weekend under par at 2-under (850) after a 1-over 285 on Sunday. No. 10 South Carolina, No. 13 Wake Forest, No. 3 Duke, No. 11 Auburn and No. 7 Vanderbilt finished ahead of the Razorbacks in a loaded field that included 12 teams inside the Top 25.
