CHOUDRANT, La. – The Louisiana golf team mounted a furious rally on the back nine during the final round of play at the Argent Financial Classic to tie for first and force a three-team playoff Tuesday at Squire Creek Golf Club.

Dylan Keating lead the way for Louisiana as he tied for seventh at 5-under. He was 3-over on the day through eight holes before and eagle on No. 9 and a birdie on hole 10 moved him back to even-par. He closed out the round with birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 17 to end the day at 3-under.
Burke Alford registered a top-10 finish at 4-under after shooting 1-under on the day, and Malan Potgieter tied for 23rd at even-par. Potgieter was 2-over after the front nine but caught fire after making the turn as he birdied five holes including three in a row on Nos. 13-15.
