FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas junior Abbey Schutte earned her first career tournament victory this week, finishing at 9-under (207) to win the final event of Arkansas’ fall season at The Ally at Old Waverly Golf Club.

While Schutte celebrated an individual title, Florida took home the team championship, setting a 54-hole tournament record with a 26-under 838. The Gators edged out Arkansas, which finished second at 21-under.

Both teams battled through the final round, but Florida closed strong, playing the last four holes at 3-under while the Razorbacks finished 3-over down the stretch.

The victory marked Florida’s second team win of the season and third consecutive title at The Ally.

Arkansas senior Reagan Zibilski appeared poised to win after birdieing five of her first nine holes to build a three-shot lead. But Schutte surged late, carding birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to pull within one.

Zibilski held a one-stroke advantage heading to the 18th tee, but double bogeyed her final hole — her only double of the tournament — to drop to 8-under, one shot behind Schutte.

Schutte was steady all week, shooting under par in every round and closing with her best score — a 4-under 68 in Wednesday’s finale.

Junior Maria José Marin placed third at 6-under after a final-round 71. Swetha Sathish (T-37, +6) and Clarisa Temelo (T-44, +9) finished over par in the final round. Competing as an individual, Anna Kate Nichols earned a top-15 finish, finishing even for the week.
