Bringing Home the Trophy
The last time we saw the Trojans compete, they were on their way to a record-setting performance at the 2020 Little Rock Invitational at Chenal Country Club. The Trojans captured the team title in their home event with a program-record 35-under 829, including an 18-under 270 over the final 18 holes, shattering both the program single round and 54-hole tournament records. Magnus Lomholt (T-4th), Marcel Rauch (T-7th) and Logan Pate (T-10th) all finished among the individual top-10 with Anton Albers (T-13th) giving Little Rock four players among the individual top-15.
 
Showing Out
Little Rock's individual performances were some of the tops in program history during the fall season. The Trojans were led through the fall by Anton Albers and Magnus Lomholt, both of which finished with a 72.44 scoring average and a combined seven rounds of par-or-better. Logan Pate notched a 72.56 average with a pair of top-10 individual finishes as the team combined for 17 rounds of par-or-better and 10 individual top-20 showings, including five top-10 finishes.
 
National Accolades
Little Rock enters the 2021 spring season ranked 22nd nationally in the post-fall GolfStat rankings, the highest mark in program history. As a team, Little Rock recorded a 287.56 scoring average in the fall with 17 par-or-better rounds and three top-six tournament finishes. Individually, Magnus Lomholt is ranked 65th in the national rankings, followed by Anton Albers (73rd) and Logan Pate (75th) in the top-100.
 
Come Back to Texas
Little Rock will get quite familiar with the drive on I-40 between Little Rock and the state of Texas as the Trojans are scheduled to play four-straight spring tournaments in the Lone Star state. Having to adjust the schedule due to COVID regulations, Little Rock is now scheduled to compete in the Border Olympics in Laredo (Feb. 22-23), the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas (Mar. 7-9) and the George Hannon Intercollegiate in Austin (Mar. 15-16) following this week's individual tournament in the DFW Metroplex.
