Razorback MGolf Opens Season at Pebble Beach

FAYETTEVILLE – The Arkansas men’s golf team will start the 14th season of the Brad McMakin era Aug. 30-Sept. 1 at the prestigious Carmel Cup, played at historic Pebble Beach Golf Links. The Razorbacks enter the season opener ranked 13th by Golf Channel, 17th by Golfweek and 26th by the Golf Coaches Association.

This year’s field features four teams that played in last year’s NCAA Championship – Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt and TCU – with the Razorbacks, Georgia, Texas Tech and Mississippi State all reaching the NCAA postseason.

The event annually features eight teams and is a six-count-five format, meaning six golfers from each team with the best five scores each round counting toward the team total. (Most college events are five-count-four.)
