FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas golfer Julian Perico gave himself two major goals this Spring: receive a Palmer Cup invitation and earn All-America status.
Perico’s halfway there.
The Arkansas junior accepted an invitation on Tuesday to play for the international team at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup, which will take place June 11-13 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill.
Perico, winner of this year’s Vanderbilt Legends Collegiate, is the first Peruvian and third South American to make the Palmer Cup squads since the format changed in 2018.
“It’s great to represent my country like that,” Perico said.
