FAYETTEVILLE — Peruvian Julian Perico won the junior division of The Memorial on July 27, 2017, with University of Arkansas assistant coach Barrett Lais in attendance recruiting the teenager, who was attending Monteverde Academy in Florida.
That championship moment sparked the latest successful chapter of Arkansas men’s golf, which included the 2019 SEC championship with Perico scoring the clinching point at St. Simon’s Island, Ga.
The location and course for Perico’s junior title almost five years ago?
The Scarlet Course at the Ohio State Golf Club.
That’s where the senior Perico and the Razorbacks will compete in NCAA regional play, beginning today at the 7,455-yard par-71 course in Columbus, Ohio.
