Back to the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans Newsfeed

Returning to NCAA regionals, UALR men’s golf is attempting to make national success normal

Two decades removed from its most recent NCAA Tournament appearance, the University of Arkansas-Little Rock men's golf team had its watershed moment last May.

The Trojans played their final five holes in 7-under par. All five golfers birdied the par-5 18th hole at Karsten Creek Golf Club. UALR edged the likes of Auburn, Baylor and Notre Dame to advance from the NCAA Stillwater (Okla.) Regional.

For the first time in program history, UALR would get a shot to play for a national title.

The thrill lasted 11 days.

"It sucked we finished last, I'm not going to lie," senior Marcel Rauch said of the Trojans' showing at the 2021 NCAA Division I Championship.
