Little Rock at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic
Little Rock will be making its second-straight appearance in the Bayou City Collegiate Classic, looking to improve off last season's ninth-place showing. The Trojans shot an 18-over 882, highlighted by a 1-over 289 in round two, as
Zach Coats and
George Trujillo tied for 16th individually at 2-over 218.
Last Time Out
Little Rock had an impressive showing in its last event, placing eighth among a challenging 20-team field at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational September 25-26 in Erie, Colorado. The Trojans finished at even-par 864, including a 2-under 286 in round two, as freshman
Aaron Ramos led the way, carding a 1-under 215 en route to finishing tied for 24th among the 107-player field.
Going Low
While Little Rock's roster may be young, it certainly isn't void of talent. Through the first two events of 2017-18, the Trojans are averaging 289.33 per round, including a team-low of 282 in the opening round of the Memphis Intercollegiate. Individually, Little Rock has posted 14 rounds of par-or-better this season, led by four from junior
George Scanlon and three each from junior
Justin Warren, sophomore
Logan Pate and freshman
Aaron Ramos.
Looking Ahead
After this week's trip to the Lone Star state, Little Rock will remain home, serving as the host of the 2017 Little Rock Invitational on October 23 and 24. The event will be held at Chenal Country Club with the Trojans welcoming nine teams to Arkansas' capital city.
