The Arkansas men’s golf team had a nice start to its season this week in Michigan.
Three different Razorbacks finished inside the top 16 individually. John Driscoll III, a transfer from Northwestern, shot a 2-over 215 to tie him for ninth. Manuel Lozada was right behind him with a 3-over for a tie for 11th. And John Daly II moved up nine spots from the second round, finishing with a 4-over.
Coach Brad McMakin was plenty happy with the result, especially considering the roster turnover Arkansas has had since last year.
“With four new starters this year, I couldn’t be more proud of this team this week,” McMakin said. “We put ourselves in a position to win and unfortunately it didn’t go our way. We will learn from this and be better from it.”
Jacob Skove Oleson (5-over) and Mateo Pulcini (8-ever) joined the trio to form Arkansas’ five-man team.
The Razorbacks are headed to Birmingham, Alabama, from September 25-27 for SEC Match Play.
