Little Rock gets set for its final tune up before the Sun Belt Conference Championship, heading to West Point, Mississippi, for the 2019 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship April 15-16 at Old Waverly Golf Club.
 
Tournament Information
The 2019 Old Waverly Collegiate Championship, hosted by Mississippi State, is a 54-hole tournament being played over the course of two days at Old Waverly Golf Club – a par-72, 7,000-yard course in West Point, Mississippi, located about 20 miles northeast of Starkville. The teams will play 36 holes Monday, beginning with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start, before resuming play with 8 a.m. tee times from holes one and 10 Tuesday. Live scoring is available at Golfstat.com.
 
Tournament Field
Little Rock will be one of 15 teams competing in this year's Old Waverly Collegiate, including being one of four Sun Belt Conference foes, joined by Louisiana, South Alabama and ULM. It will be a competitive field as six teams are among the top-100 in the latest GolfStat rankings, including Vanderbilt (No. 4), Ole Miss (No. 55), host Mississippi State (No. 57), Memphis (No. 87), South Alabama (No. 91) and ULM (No. 96). The Trojans are just on the outside looking in, currently sitting at number 104 nationally.
 
Trojan Lineup
Little Rock will go with the same lineup for the second-straight week in Mississippi as Anton Albers will occupy the number one spot for the Trojans following his 6-under 207 in Seattle. Aaron Ramos and Justin Warren will remain the regulars in the Little Rock lineup, competing in their 10th tournaments of the 2018-19 season.

Trojans at the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship
2019 marks the second-straight season Little Rock will compete in Mississippi State's host tournament, placing 13th in last year's event with a 55-over 919. Tiago Lobo was the top Trojan competitor with a 10-over 226, tying for 34th, with Justin Warren notching a 14-over 230.
 
Last Time Out
Little Rock is coming off a ninth-place showing at the competitive Seattle Redhawk Invitiational earlier this month, posting a 54-hole total of 1-under 851. That charge was led by freshman Anton Albers, who notched a 6-under 207, including a 3-under 68 in round three, placing 12th among the field. Aaron Ramos finished at even-par 213, notching a 3-under 68 in the opening round to pace the Trojans early.
 
Albers Making His Mark
Freshman Anton Albers has made his mark early in his Little Rock career. Playing in just his fourth collegiate tournament, Albers posted a 6-under 206 at the Seattle Redhawk Invitational, tied for the third-lowest 54-hole program score in program history. Eight of Albers' first 12 rounds as a Trojan have been par or better, scoring in the 60s three times with his career-low 3-under 68 in the final round in Seattle on April 2.
 
Down Low Down Under
Senior Justin Warren continues to set the tone for the Trojans as well as etch his name in the Little Rock record book. Warren leads the team with a 71.58 scoring average this season, which currently ranks as the lowest single season scoring average in program history. He has 17 rounds of par-or-better this season, which is fourth in program history, and four top-10 finishes, including setting program records for the lowest round (64) and the lowest tournament (202) earlier this season in Dallas.
 
Racking Up The Miles
Little Rock will add another state to their 2018-19 travelogue this week when they tee it off in Mississippi – the eight different state the Trojans will have played in this year. The Trojans travels have sent them to all four time zones this season as the trip to eastern Mississippi brings Little Rock's season miles traveled to just shy of 17,000 on the year.
 
Looking Ahead
Following this week's tournament in Mississippi, Little Rock will set its sights on the 2019 Sun Belt Conference Championship in San Destin, Florida. The conference tournament will be held Sunday, April 21 through Wednesday, April 24 at the Raven Golf Club.
