Maria Fassi made her first tournament win of the season a big one Friday, completing a comeback to capture medalist honors and lead the surging No. 6 University of Arkansas women's golf team into the match-play portion at the SEC championships.
Fassi, a senior from Pachuca, Mexico, shot a 1-under 71 on the 6,274-yard Legends course at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Hoover, Ala., to overtake second-round leader Marta Perez SanMartin of Florida in rainy, cold and windy conditions. Fassi, the runner-up at the SECs last season, finished with a 6 under for a four-stroke victory to claim her 10th individual title.
