October 5, 2017

David Lingmerth Rolls Along On PGA Tour
The #ProHogs veteran just completed his fifth year on the PGA Tour, earning over $1 million for the fourth time in the last five seasons. He has amassed over $8 million in earnings during his PGA Tour career with one victory and 12 top 10 finishes. Lingmerth’s best finish in 2017 came at the Quicken Loans National with a top five performance. He advanced to the second round of the FedExCup Playoffs, sneaking into the top 100 of the FedExCup standings to qualify for the Dell Technologies Championship.

Graduation Day For Web.com Tour Trio
Former Razorbacks dominated the Web.com Tour all season as Arkansas became the only collegiate program to have three former players finish inside the top 25 on the regular season money list and earn their PGA Tour cards for the 2018 season. Andrew Landry finished fourth, Austin Cook was 15th and Ethan Tracy claimed one of the final two cards at No. 24.

Show Me The Money
No collegiate golf program in the country earned more money on the Web.com Tour in 2017 than Arkansas, as six different former Razorbacks combined to earn over $1 million. Arkansas became one of two collegiate programs in Web.com Tour history to earn $1 million in a single season.

Razorback Brotherhood
Arkansas dominated the opening weeks of the Web.com Tour season, winning two of the first three events. Andrew Landry started the party with a victory at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, and Ethan Tracy followed the next week with a victory in a playoff at the Club Colombia Championship. When Tracy rolled in the winning putt, Landry greeted his former teammate with a champagne shower to celebrate his first victory on tour.

Shot of the Year
This was an easy choice. Chasing his first win on the Web.com Tour, Ethan Tracy recorded birdies on 14 and 17 to pull to within two shots of the leaders walking up 18 fairway. Needing to make eagle to force a playoff, Tracy was 101 yards away and holed out to force a playoff and eventually capture his first win on his to journey to securing his PGA Tour card for 2018.
