Arkansas swept the Blessings Collegiate team titles, but John Daly II’s breakthrough and Avery Weed’s record 14-under headline
Arkansas captured both team titles at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, but Mississippi State’s Avery Weed stole the show with a 14-under, wire-to-wire record—her third career win—while John Daly II was the men’s lone player under par on the Razorbacks’ home course.
Men’s Championship: Arkansas Defends Home Turf
Team Title: Arkansas Razorbacks stormed to the men’s crown with a score of 861 (-3), finishing 17 shots clear of Louisville. A strong final round cemented their dominance on their home track.
Individual Champion: Sophomore John Daly II delivered a breakthrough win with 214 (-2), the only player under par in the men’s field. His composed performance at 7,869-yard Blessings Golf Club carried extra meaning on his home course and with his father’s legacy in the backdrop.
- Runner-up: Louisville, 878 (+11)
- Third place: BYU, 892 (+28)
- Kansas State placed 4th, led by transfer Shea Harmeson (T7, +3), who closed with a 71 (-1).
Women’s Championship: Razorbacks Complete the Sweep
Team Title: Arkansas women matched the men, finishing 865 (-8) to claim the program sweep.
Individual Champion: Avery Weed (Mississippi State) set a new tournament record at 202 (-14), capturing her third career win and becoming just the second non-Arkansas player to take the women’s crown. Weed went wire-to-wire, shooting 65–68–69, her first career event with three rounds in the 60s. Her opening 65 tied the lowest round in event history.
- Runner-up: Kent State, +28
- Third place: Mississippi State, +35
- Kansas State finished 4th, sparked by Kelsey Chen’s 70 (-2) in the final round.
