Tournament Information
The 2021 Trinity Forest Invitational, hosted by SMU, will be held at Trinity Forest Golf Club, a par-71, 7,300-yard course on the southeast side of Dallas. The 54-hole event will be played over two days, with rounds one and two on Monday, October 4 leading up to the final round on Tuesday, October 5. Both days will get underway with an 8 a.m. shotgun start with live scoring available at GolfStat.com.
 
Tournament Field
Little Rock is one of 14 teams competing at this week's Trinity Valley Invitational and is one of two Sun Belt schools, joined by UT Arlington. The field is Texas-heavy as eight of the 14 teams come from the Lone Star state as the Trojans will be one of four NCAA regional teams competing, joined by Middle Tennessee, Sam Houston and SMU.
 
Trojan Lineup
Head coach Jake Harrington will return four of five players from the season-opening tournament in Louisiana with senior Anton Albers joining the lineup. Junior Magnus Lomholt will play the number one position followed by Albers, senior Marcel Rauch, junior Jansen Smith and freshman Archie Smith. Junior Nico Horder will compete for the Trojans as an individual.
 
Last Time Out
Magnus Lomholt tied the ninth-lowest tournament score in program history at the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate, shooting an 8-under 208 to finish third among the 119-player field at Squire Creek Country Club on September 14. Lomholt paced a Trojan squad that finished fifth among the 21-team field in northern Louisiana, posting a 2-under 862 over the three-day event. Little Rock notched a 7-over 295 in round three, slipping one spot but finishing as one of just five teams to finish the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate under par.
 
Trojans at Trinity Forest
Trinity Forest is a course Little Rock has grown accustomed to playing at, setting numerous program records at the event. In the five years of SMU's host tournament, two Trojan players sit atop the top-six individual rounds as Justin Warren (2018) and Anton Albers (2021) both fired 7-under 64s with Warren's 11-under 202 in 2018 ranking as the third-best tournament score. Albers made his mark at Trinity Forest in the spring, winning the individual title with a 7-under 206 as Little Rock finished third in the spring of 2021, fifth in 2019 and sixth in 2018.
 
Accolades for Lomholt
Little Rock junior Magnus Lomholt was been named the Sun Belt Golfer of the Week on Septmber 16 following his performance at the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate. Lomholt finished third among the 119-player field with an 8-under 208, tying the ninth-lowest tournament score in program history. Lomholt opened the event with a 2-under 70 in round one, followed by a career-low 4-under 68 in round two before finishing with a 2-under 70 in round three. He ended the season-opening event with 38 pars, tied for fifth among the field, and 12 birdies, ranking tied for third among all players on both par three (1-under) and par-four (2-under) holes.
 
Welcome to the Show
Little Rock's trip to Louisiana for the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate marked the first appearance in Trojan uniforms for newcomers Jansen Smith and Archie Smith. The duo finished in a three-way tie for second among the Trojan scorecard at 2-over 218, tied for 33rd individually, with each registering a round under par – a 2-under 70 for Archie in round one and a 1- under 71 for Jansen in round two.
