The No. 13 Arkansas Razorbacks had their best round of the week Wednesday at the Columbus Regional with a 12-over-par, but it was not good enough to advance to the NCAA championships.
The Razorbacks finished in eighth place at 46 over, two strokes behind Michigan, which secured the sixth and final spot on the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University. No. 12 South Carolina had the round of the regional with an even-par 288 to surge into a tie for first with SEC champion Florida at 22 over. The other qualifying teams from Columbus, Ohio, were No. 5 Florida State (27 over), Ohio State (29 over) and Purdue (40 over).
Arkansas’ Cara Gorlei was the top finisher among teams not advancing to the NCAA championships, and the sophomore’s 4-over par 220 will allow her to participate as an individual at the NCAA championship.
Florida’s Kelly Grassel and South Carolina’s Ana Pelaez tied for medalist honors at even-par 216.
Arkansas junior Alana Uriell finished in a tie for 30th at 12 over, while senior Summar Roachell tied for 48th at 16 over, sophomore Kaylee Benton tied for 51st at 17 over and sophomore Maria Fassi tied for 67th at 21 over.
