Last Year at Trinity Forest
Little Rock's last trip to Trinity Forest was one for the record books as the Trojans notched a runner-up showing with a 7-under 845, the third-lowest team score in program history. The charge was led by former Trojan Justin Warren, who set the Little Rock program record for lowest individual round (7-under 64), lowest 54-hole tournament score (202) and lowest to-par score in program history (11-under).
 
Last Time Out
The Trojans opened the 2019-20 season in south central Texas earlier this week, placing fifth at the UTSA Lone Star Invitational in San Antonio. Little Rock carded a 28-over 892 at TPC San Antonio, highlighted by a 5-over 293 in round two. Individually, Aaron Ramos finished tied for 18th in the individual standings with a 5-over 149, the eighth top-20 showing of his career.
 
A Year for the Record Books
Little Rock's 2018-19 season is one that went down in the Trojan record books, setting a handful of program-bests. The team set a new season record with a 286.97 scoring average while setting new high water marks for birdies (481) and eagles (17) in a season. Little Rock also set new program-bests in scoring average for par three (3.098), par four (4.131) and par five (4.829) holes while its GolfStat ranking of 100 is the highest in program history since the 2003-04 season when it finished 97th.
 
Looking Ahead
Little Rock will conclude its Texas three-step in early October as the Trojans will play their first three events of the 2019-20 season in the Lone Star state. The third of four trips to Texas this year, Little Rock returns to action at the Maridoe Invitational, hosted by North Texas, October 6-8 at Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton.
