Down four shots with seven holes to play, the Arkansas men’s golf team went on a birdie binge and rallied to beat TCU by two strokes to defend its title at the Palmas Del Mar Collegiate in Puerto Rico on Tuesday.
“I can’t say enough how proud I am of this group,” Arkansas Coach Brad McMakin said. “Obviously we didn’t have the fall we wanted. But the guys worked hard in the offseason and you could see that pay off this week.”
Arkansas freshman Erich Fortlage led the charge by winning his first college tournament with a 10-under par that included a final round 69 and featured an eagle on his second-to-last hole, the 538-yard par 5 at No.
