Magnus Lomholt Tabbed Sun Belt Golfer of the Week

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Little Rock junior Magnus Lomholt has been named the Sun Belt Golfer of the Week following his performance at the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate over the weekend.
 
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 finising with a 2-under 70 in round three.
 
Lomholt 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. His 208 was two shots better than his previous-best of 210 at last year's Little Rock Invitational where he tied for fourth in the individual standings.
 
The 8-under 208 is tied for the third-lowest vs. par tournament in program history behind the 11-under performances by Justin Warren in 2018 and Matias Calderon in 2013. It is tied with Daniel Fox's 8-under 208 at the ULM Intercollegiate back in 2001. The effort by Lomholt paced the Trojans to a fifth-place finish at the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate, finishing with a 2-under 282.
 
For his career, the Asnaes, Denmark native has now posted 10 rounds of par-or-better with a career scoring average of 73.87 in 10 career tournaments as a Trojan. The third-place showing was the second top-10 finish of Lomholt's career and his fifth top-20 individual showing.
 
Lomholt and the rest of the Trojans return to action October 4-6, traveling to Texas for the 2021 Trinity Forest Intercollegiate in Dallas.
