Birdies by all five Trojans on the par-5 18th hole secured the University of Arkansas at Little Rock its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Men's Golf Championships after the final round of the NCAA Stillwater (Okla.) Regional on Tuesday evening at Karsten Creek.
The series of birdies -- bookended by Nicolas Horder and Magnus Lomholt, with Marcel Rauch, Logan Pate and Anton Albers in between -- brought the Trojans to 6-over 294 on the final day. Their 15-over 879 three-round total vaulted them past Auburn and Baylor into the fifth and final qualifying spot by one stroke.
"The shots that were hit on 18 alone showed you what this team is made of," Trojans Coach Jake Harrington said.
