The Razorbacks entered the day in sole possession of first place but No. 23 Kansas, led by sophomore Lyla Louderbaugh (1st, -12), fired a tournament best 12-under third round to win the regional by three strokes.
José Marin, the 2024-25 SEC Player of the Year, birdied five of her first six holes to start her best round of the week and only bogeyed once at the par 4 No. 11, the toughest hole on the course with a 4.49 stroke average. The sophomore birdied two more times to finish the day 6-under.
Temelo entered Wednesday tied for 13th and rose 11 spots after tying her career low 18-hole of 66. The Querétaro, Mexico native parred her first eight holes before her first birdie fell at No. 9. On the back nine, Temelo shot 5-under par including three of her last four. The T-2 placement is the highest of her collegiate career.
Senior Kendall Todd picked up her eighth top 10 finish this season at T-10 and led Arkansas for the first two rounds. Todd went in at 3-over in the final 18 holes and ended the week at even par. Junior Reagan Zibilski scored a 2-over 74 each day to put all four of the Razorbacks' counting scores in the top 30.
Along with Arkansas and Kansas, No. 14 Ohio State, No. 39 UNLV and No. 10 LSU advanced to Carlsbad from the Columbus Regional.
