Duke Birdies Final Hole to Make Cut

Ken Duke birdied the 18th and final hole of the second round of the Crown Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth and appears he will make the cut on the number at even-par.

Duke fired a one-over 71 yesterday and a one-under 69 today. he moved from 79th after round one to T65th. He is only seven shots behind tournament leader Steve Stricker.

He currently ranks 111th on the Fed Ex Cup Standings and 133rd on the PGA Tour Money List with $257,337 in official earnings.

This is about the time of year Duke breaks out and starts to play well. Let's keep our fingers crossed that is about to happen for one of the nicest people ever to play golf in this state. He is a great ambassador for the game of golf and for the state of Arkansas! GO KEN!

Razorback Golfers Advance to NCAA Semi-Finals

The Razorback Men's Golf Team advanced to the NCAA Semi-Finals this morning in Toledo, Ohio with a 3-2 victory over Washington. The #4 seeded Hogs are the only team in the top four to advance to the semi-finals.

Top seeded Oklahoma State lost to #8 Georgia (Arkansas's next opponent) while second seeded Arizona State fell to #7 Texas A&M and third seeded Southern Cal fell to number 6 Michigan.

Conway's Jason Cuthbertson, a Razorback senior, won his match over Chris Kilmer 3 & 2.

The program is rising to the top again under third-year coach Brad McMakin. The Hogs are fresh off a #2 finish to Georgia in the SEC tournament and can enact the sweetest form of revenge in the semi-finals! GO HOGS!

Randy Beaver (red shirt) presented the 2008 ASGA Senior Match Play Trophy to Champion Stan Lee. Rolling Hills Country Club in Cabot was a great site for this event - mainly because of Randy Beaver and his maintenance crew.

During the 2008 tournament, Randy went for a chemo treatment one day and came back to Rolling Hills to check on the status of the senior match play. We all encouraged him to go home and take care of himself - but he cared deeply for other people. Because he was Pro/GM/Supt. at the host site, he felt he had to be there!
